Need to add expires header conditionally based on mime types

[Silver Moon]

the

putting $upstream_http_content_type or $sent_http_content_type or
$content_type inside "if" does not work.
i wish someone could test and provide a working example.

none of the samples shown in the stackoverflow post work.

i tested enough and found that only $sent_http_content_type  contains the
http response Content-type
and that can be tested like this

add_header TEST $sent_http_content_type

however putting that inside an if and trying to add further headers inside
that if will not work
i opened a ticket in trac and they said that it does not work like that

however no one confirms if it is strictly possible or impossible.
