Yes, that's the reason in this case.

"""
If the header includes the “Set-Cookie” field, such a response will

Processing of one or more of these response header fields can be disabled

If "Set-Cookie" were cached, then everyone who fetches from the cache
would be invited to set the same cookie, which probably defeats the
purpose of cookies.

Another way to achieve the same would be to turn off the "Set-Cookie"
on the upstream, for all pages that don't need to do it. (Possibly
the upstream is running unnecessary code to check for the existence
if a cookie; and if not, then create a new unique cookie for future
comparison.)


You're effectively doing this now, with the nginx config; but this nginx
method doesn't (trivially) allow you to get a Set-Cookie to the browser
(and avoid caching) for the few pages which might actually need it.

You're welcome.

Good that you found an answer, and thanks for sharing it.

Cheers,
