Hello.  
Can you please tell how to enable caching of responses with  
‘X-Accel-Redirect’ headers.

You may do so by using

```
proxy_ignore_headers X-Accel-Redirect;

```

This will prevent nginx from doing a redirect based on  
X-Accel-Redirect though.

See [Module ngx\_http\_proxy\_module](http://nginx.org/r/proxy_ignore_headers) for details.

But, I want use both redirect and save response with ‘X-Accel-Redirect’  
in cache to prevent multiple requests to backend.

You have to select just one, either X-Accel-Redirect handling or  
cache. As a workaround you may try doing another proxy layer with  
cache and X-Accel-Redirect ignored.
