It looks to me like http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_proxy_module.html#proxy_no_cache is what you need to use. If the backend is returning a Content-Length header, you could refer to that. If not, you may have to get creative in assembling a map{} variable. FWIW, a 200 with an empty body is, (I believe) invalid. It should be a 204. If your backend is misbehaving, you might like to fix it before mitigating the problem inside your reverse-proxy. Remember: broken gets fixed, but shitty lives forever ...
