I can't get that to work either. :( I've tried setting all of these, no cigar.

Here's a log file dump

[21/Jun/2010:12:31:37 +0200]  "GET /about/ HTTP/1.1" 200 5578 0.055  cache
status=-  upstream_http_x_accel_expires=140 http_x_refresh_cache=1
[21/Jun/2010:12:31:50 +0200]  "GET /about/ HTTP/1.1" 200 5586 0.032  cache
status=EXPIRED  upstream_http_x_accel_expires=- http_x_refresh_cache=-
[21/Jun/2010:12:32:08 +0200]  "GET /about/ HTTP/1.1" 200 5586 -  cache
status=HIT  upstream_http_x_accel_expires=- http_x_refresh_cache=-

with the log format defined as

log_format upstream '[$time_local]  '
  '"$request" $status $body_bytes_sent '
  '$upstream_response_time  '
  'cache status=$upstream_cache_status  '
  'upstream_http_x_accel_expires=$upstream_http_x_accel_expires '
  'http_x_refresh_cache=$http_x_refresh_cache';

As you can see, the first entry satisfies the proxy_no_cache directive and
returns a X-Accel-Expires of 140, but the next plain hit still finds an old
cache entry (and refreshes it so the next plain one gets a HIT).
