For "woff", that has:

  proxy_ignore_headers Cache-Control Vary Expires Set-Cookie X-Accel-Expires;
  proxy_cache_valid     404 1m;

For "swf" it has:

  proxy_ignore_headers Vary;
  proxy_cache_valid     404 3m;


For how long do you want your "woff" content cached by nginx? If it
is a fixed amount, set proxy_cache_valid suitably. If it is "whatever
Cache-Control says", remove that from proxy_ignore_headers.


(Aside: it is usually friendlier to include the config in the email, so
that someone in next year will be able to see the complete question. It's
possible that that pastebin link may not have the same content as today,
then.)

Cheers,
