Response Header IF statement problem

[Peter Booth]

I think that part of the power and challenge of using nginx’s caching is that there are many different ways 
of achieving the same or similar results, but some of the approaches will be more awkward than others. 

I think that it might help if you could express what the issue is that you are trying to solve, 
as opposed to the mechanism that you are wanting to use to solve your problem, for example,
“Don’t cache personalized pages” or “don’t cache pages where the user is outside the US” or 
“don’t cache pages if the user has logged in” or ...

I can change my logic in creating this header to only have it on pages where cache should be disabled if it is not possible to use an IF statement around it. I will post my config here once I get rid of the sensitive things, but the confusing thing is that it worked, then it stopped working.
