No. This is a /response/ header from (typically) a dynamic backend
which instructs nginx to serve some piece of static content, thus
freeing up the backend for more intelligent, heavy-weight request
handling. There are more sophisticated uses, but you should at least
understand this basic use case before attempting them.
