Hey Maxim,

Rather, it checks whether it can extend the validity of the cached
response based on the 304 response, which is used exactly for that
purpose.
While I agree that this isn't perfect, because 304 response doesn't
contain all headers that proxy_no_cache might want to check, I think
it's much better than totally ignoring that directive, which is the
case now... At the very least, it checks client headers, which are
perfect candidates for proxy_bypass and proxy_no_cache.
Would checking proxy_no_cache against both 304 and cached response
work for you or are you totally against this idea?
Best regards,
Piotr Sikora
