If you look at the request from nginx to upstream, and the response from
upstream to nginx, can you see the headers?

Particularly the Vary: header of the response -- often it will include
"User-Agent", which would explain what you see.

If that is the issue, and you know that upstream sends the same content
to all user-agents, then you can configure nginx so that that piece is
not used in nginx's decision to cache.

According to http://nginx.org/r/proxy_ignore_headers,

> proxy_ignore_headers X-Accel-Expires Expires Cache-Control; 

"Vary" is the most likely of the fields that you could ignore that you
do not.

Cheers,
