We are observing that multiple cache object is getting created for same file in Nginx Cache which is resulting into non optimal use of cache storage.

We are using proxy_cache_key as $uri.

proxy_cache_key $uri;

For example with file having URI /content/entry/jiomags/content/719/51/51_t_0.jpg

2 cache object has been created in cache folder. Both the files are having same KEY

Please help
