It's the one after "$http2" and before "$https".

$http_anything is defined in nginx if the incoming request has a header
that maps to "anything".

The documentation at http://nginx.org/r/fastcgi_no_cache describes what
that directive should do.

You want to disable fastcgi caching when the fastcgi variable REMOTE_USER
is set.

Your config presumably includes something like "fastcgi_param REMOTE_USER
$something".

In that case, you want "fastcgi_no_cache $something".

Good luck with it,
