Could you please elaborate on it? There was no issues with $cache_key value
being set in if block and being visible to proxy_cache_key directive. The
issue is when the if condition is not satisfied and hence the $cache_key is
not set, I was expecting the caching to get disabled altogether as
proxy_cache_key was now being passed a uninitialized variable as parameter.

Thanks,
Vinay
