nginx 1.9.12 proxy_cache always returns MISS

[shiz]

Been playing with this for 2 days.

proxy_pass is working correctly but the proxy_cache_path remains empty
whatever I make.


Here's the source I use for tests:
root at NC-PH-0657-10:/etc/nginx/snippets# curl -X GET -I
http://www.kuriyama-truck.com/images/parts/13375/thumbnail_0/1_1.jpg
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Sat, 19 Mar 2016 18:15:16 GMT
Server: Apache/2.4.16 (Amazon) PHP/5.6.17

ETag: "d0f3-52daab51fbe80"
Accept-Ranges: bytes
Content-Length: 53491
Content-Type: image/jpeg

Now here's the response from the nginx:
root at NC-PH-0657-10:/etc/nginx/snippets# curl -X GET -I
http://dev.ts-export.com/kuriyamacache/images/parts/13375/thumbnail_0/1_1.jpg

Here are the request headers from my browser:
