I wanted to create if block for expires directive, but it’s not allowed in if context.

Like that:

if($args ~ "no_caching=1") {
  expires      epoch;
}

Is it somehow possible to create this in any other way?

I need nginx to change expire header to epoch when simple $_GET param no_cache=1 is in present.

For visual checking purposes.

Thanks 😉
