Proxy_ignore_headers Cache-Control + Set-Cookie do not work both

Server NGINX
1

Hi,
in a reverse-proxy setup I want to ignore “Cache-Control:” and
“Set-Cookie:”
for .css and some more.

Each one works perfectly.

Pages sent with a cookie are being cached:
location ~* .(css|ico|js) {
proxy_pass http://Upstream-server;
proxy_ignore_headers Set-Cookie; }

Pages sent with a cookie are being cached (just for reference):
location ~* .(css|ico|js) {
proxy_pass http://Upstream-server;
proxy_ignore_headers Set-Cookie Expires; }

Pages sent with a cookie are NOT being cached:
location ~* .(css|ico|js) {
proxy_pass http://Upstream-server;
proxy_ignore_headers Set-Cookie Cache-Control; }

nginx version: nginx/1.1.19
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

What am I doing wrong?

Ignoring the Cache-Control header likely results in no cache time
information available. You have to set proxy_cache_valid then for
a cache to work, see Module ngx_http_proxy_module.
