I'm using Nginx to serve my static files and proxy dynamic requests to Django. I'd like to cache the static files ("expires 24h;") for all static files except those ending with *.swf.
When I was using Apache, I placed this in the .htaccess file of the directory containing the *.swf files and it worked great:
<FilesMatch "\.(swf)$">
Header set Cache-Control "no-cache"
</FilesMatch>
How can I achieve a similar result in my Nginx config?
