cache all endpoints but one: nginx settings

[gg4u]

Update about FLASK:

as you indicated in:

I am using errorhandler decorator, but returning a template in the handler
function:

@application.errorhandler(404)
def error_404(e):
	application.logger.error('Page Not Found: %s', (request.path))
	#return render_template('404.html'), 404
	return render_template("404.html", error = str(e))

In this situation, it is not clear to me if nginx will read a 200 response,
for actually the template 404.html is found, or the 404 error, handled by
the decorator.

Actually, with the suggestions from:
http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_proxy_module.html#proxy_cache_valid

I can see:
/api/_invalidpage
returned header: X-Proxy-Cache: MISS and it is not cached now.
while
/_invalidpage/ (the page a user will see for that specific page) 
returned X-Proxy-Cache: HIT

I would like to cache the html template but not the 404 api response.
I think now is correct but would appreciate a clarification on how a
template is handled inside handleerror in flask, to better understand how
things works.
