The response returned by nginx is a static file served by nginx 
itself.  Note the ETag header returned, and the "location 
~*.*\.(3gp|gif|jpg|jpeg|png|..." in your config - it looks like 
the file exists on the filesystem, and returned directly as per 
configuration.  There is no surprise the response doesn't have any 
headers which are normally returned by your backend.

(And yes, all proxy_pass_header directives in your config are 
meaningless and should be removed.)
