This is not needed. This is the *default* setting. Cf.

Remove that key and replace by: 

fastcgi_cache_key $scheme$host$request_uri;

At the http level do:

map $http_cookie $no_cache {
    default 0;
    ~SESS 1;
}

Then add:

## If we have a cookie we should bypass the cache. The same if we have a
fastcgi_cache_bypass $no_cache;
fastcgi_no_cache $no_cache;

To the above FCGI cache config.

Also the first stop for drupal and Nginx stuff is the g.d.o group ;)
