proxy_cache and X-Accel-Redirect

[Igor A. Ippolitov]

Hello, deivid__

As you are using uwsgi_pass, you may want to try uwsgi_cache 
(nginx.org/r/uwsgi_cache),
uwsgi_cache_path and uwsgi_cache_key directives.

To make use of $upstream_status you should move your upstream to a 
separate block like:
upstream backend1 {
   server unix:///tmp/backend.sock;
}

And then use 'backend1' inside uwsgi_pass directive like:
uwsgi_pass uwsgi://backend1;
