In principle, yes. So long as the requests use different urls (excluding
query string).

In practice: from the words here, it is not entirely clear to me what
your overall application is doing.

Maybe you can have a location{} dedicated to these file-requests; or maybe
it would be "cleaner" for the php side to add the extra Expires header.

Can you show one or two sample requests that are made to nginx that you
do want to have this extra Expires header; and one or two that you do
not want to have this extra Expires header?

The aim is to come up with a location{} block that matches only the
requests that you want, if that is possible.

Thanks,
