If a problem happens while the request body is read/sent to the upstream in a non-buffered fashion, and nginx tries to serve an error page, it rewrites the HTTP method from POST to GET request, but keeps the old value of the Content-Length header when trying to serve the error page from the upstream. This is done here: https://trac.nginx.org/nginx/browser/nginx/src/http/ngx_http_special_response.c#L575 For example: === POST /do HTTP/1.1 Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded Content-Length: 100 === gets transformed into === GET /5xx.html HTTP/1.1 Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded Content-Length: 100 === No body data is sent in the error page upstream request, even though it is declared in the header, which can cause the upstream server to wait for it. This is seen by the client as the request hanging until the configured upstream timeout. Can this be fixed by clearing any Content-Length or Transfer-Encoding headers when error pages are served?" defect new minor nginx-core 1.10.x "nginx version: nginx/1.10.1 built by gcc 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-54) configure arguments: --without-http_rewrite_module"
