Microcache not getting hits, always X-Micro-Cache: EXPIRED

[geckolinux]

Hi there,

It appears that my Nginx microcache never gets hit. I've been monitoring the headers as an anonymous user from a Firefox private browsing session, and I re-visit the same page several times in succession, but I always see X-Micro-Cache: EXPIRED. I can confirm that entries are being created in /var/cache/nginx/microcache. Any ideas what's going wrong?
