http://nginx.org/r/expires has an example of setting a value based on
$sent_http_content_type.

You can set a value based on $upstream_http_expires --

{ default off; "" 7d; }

in the appropriate "map" should set your Expires time to 7 days from now
if there is not an Expires: header from the upstream.
