Proxy with header If-Modified-Since

Server NGINX
1

hi all,

I find that when the cache is expired,nginx request completely to
backend for fresh cache even the file wasn’t modified.Could nginx
request to backend with header “If-Modified-Since” when the cache is
expired? If this,backend will response with code 304, nginx should deal
with the 304 response.

This is not currently supported.
