Hello, all

I use nginx as a reverse proxy and all traffic goes to resin. The  
css/js files are also hosted on resin.

Now I want to add the expires directives to css/js, is the following  
configuration correct?

location ~ .\*.(css|js)$  
{  
include proxy\_params;  
proxy\_pass http://back\_end;  
#access\_log off;  
expires 6h;  
}

```
  location / {
      include proxy_params;
      proxy_pass http://back_end;
  }

```

thanks.
