Something like

    location /empty-response {
        add_header ...;
        return 204;
    }

should work for http-complaint applications (but not some popular 
browsers).

Either use embedded perl or try http_response module by Kirill 
Korinskiy (http://catap.ru/downloads/nginx/ngx_http_response-0.3.tar.gz).
