Hi there,

You will probably change your setup so that the default proxy_cache_key
works for you; but for information:

The only useful content of proxy_cache_key is things that are known
*before* the matching proxy_pass request would be made. (Otherwise,
there is no way that a second request could be served from the cache,
avoiding the upstream connection.)

So $sent_* and $upstream_* variables should not be used, since they will
be empty.

Good luck with it,
