Nginx proxy cache doesn't update cache-control max-age time!

Interesting...

Well, I solved the issue by simply removing the 'max-age' portion from
the 'cache-control' header, keeping the other portion. Expiration is
handled strictly from the 'expires' tag, which seems to be valid
according to one of those RFC's. Testing things out and caching
expires exactly when it is supposed to! So happy I can keep the proxy
cache enabled now!
