I’ll provide a (actually two) revised patch later, meanwhile here are a

Indeed, but this is used in my subsequent patch. I will remove that from 
the first patches.

Where would you then process these values, if not after every headers 
have been processed? At the moment, nginx processes them one by one, in 
the order there are found in upstream’s response. Do you suggest that in 
process_cache_control I add some "if 'expires' has already been 
processed" condition, and something equivalent in 
'process_cache_control'? That doesn’t look ideal to me, hence why I 
chose to set the valid_sec value once every header has been processed.

Do you have any suggestion?

Thank you
