X-Accel-Expires passed or not?

Server NGINX
1

Hi all,

I was looking into fastcgi_cache settings, in Nginx.
Is it required to pass the header X-Accel-Expires, in order for Nginx to
cache the data, or do I have set only the fastcgi_no_cache and
fastcgi_cache_bypass values?

fastcgi_pass_header Set-Cookie;
fastcgi_pass_header X-Accel-Expires; ← not needed, IMO
fastcgi_no_cache $cookie_cache;
fastcgi_cache_bypass $cookie_cache;

Thanks.

No, X-Accel-Expires should not be passed.
fastcgi_pass_header passes a header line to a client, but not to
nginx itself.
