Any method for NGINX (as a web-server) to skip metadata and serve content from cached file?

Well you can use proxy_store ( 
http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_proxy_module.html#proxy_store / there 
is also a configuration snippet ) with that nginx will save all the upstream 
files as-is without any additional metadata.

The drawback is you have to manage the "cache" yourself (expiration / 
purging) as nginx won't do anything with the stored files.
