$upstream_http_content_type is the http Content-Type header sent by
upstream in response to the request from nginx to upstream.

http://nginx.org/r/$upstream_http_

At the time that nginx is deciding "should this request be served from
cache or sent to upstream?", $upstream_http_content_type cannot have
a value.

Your $no_cache variable that is used in the proxy_cache_bypass directive
can only usefully be made up of things that are available in the request
from the client to nginx.

When "proxy_cache_bypass" is used, it must find the value of the variable
$no_cache. At that time, $upstream_http_content_type is empty, so $no_cache
maps to 1.

When "proxy_no_cache" is used, it must find the value of the variable
$no_cache. If $no_cache was set to 1 previously, it will keep that
value. If $no_cache was not set previously, nginx will check the map,
and now potentially set $no_cache to 0.

That is why your "proxy_no_cache" sees a different value depending on
whether "proxy_cache_bypass" is commented out or not.
