{% load nginxssi_tags %} hello {% nginxssi %} <b> okidoki </b> {%now "jS F Y H:i"%} Hello {{foo}} {% endnginxssi %} world
Renders inline as:
hello <!--# include virtual="/nginxssi/a3e5fa678243e0bab620fbca75f6601d/" --> world
A request to /nginxssi/a3e5fa678243e0bab620fbca75f6601d/ renders:
<b> okidoki </b> 25th January 2011 13:26 Hello bar
Nginx will stitch these two together to form:
hello <b> okidoki </b> 25th January 2011 13:26 Hello bar world

- The template string's md5 hash is used as a cache key
- The template's context is stored with the cache key as a prefix
- A request to the SSI url looks up the template and the context in the cache, renders it and returns the HttpResponse
