You can save headers from the first server response from 
$upstream_http_* variables and then use add_header to add them to 
the final response:

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://upstream1;
    }

    location /second/ {
        set $x_foo_bar $upstream_http_x_foo_bar;
        add_header X-Foo-Bar $x_foo_bar;
        proxy_pass http://upstream2;
    }

I don't really think we need additional functionality here.
