Hey all,  
I’m having a Nginx problem with my Rails app. When I try setting  
Expires Headers for Static Assets in an https server block they 404.  
I’ve  
tried a couple different ways but can’t seem to get it to work. Here a  
gist of what I’ve tried. Any suggestions?

Much appreciated

Most likely you are hitting this “problem”:

Can’t say for sure as you’ve “ommitted the non relevant config  
parts for clarity”.
