FastCGI cache (WordPress)

I’m trying to set up fastcgi_cache with nginx+php-fpm. I can see
directories appearing in my cache dir, but pages that I expect to return
a cached hit, are downloaded (0 kb files) rather than served as a web
page. I can see why it might be the default_type setting, but I don’t
know what else to set it to, or how to override the setting inside the
location block.

user www-data;

error_log  /var/log/nginx/error.log;
pid        /var/run/nginx.pid;

events {
  worker_connections  1024;
}

  index index.php index.html index.htm;

  gzip  on;
  gzip_disable "MSIE [1-6]\.(?!.*SV1)";

  include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;
  include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*;
}
