nginx sending incorrect header

Reported by: Michael Jephcote Owned by: somebody
Priority: minor Milestone:
Component: nginx-core Version: 1.3.x
Keywords: apache json headers Cc:
uname -a: Linux vibesn.com 2.6.18-274.7.1.el5
nginx -V: nginx version: nginx/1.3.0
built by gcc 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-52)

Description

Hi,

I have nginx configured as a proxy to Apache and when requesting JSON data nginx seems to be sending an incorrect header corrupting the response. It works as expected when accessed through Apache without nginx.

The URL being requested: http://jira.vibesn.com/rest/gadget/1.0/favfilters?showCounts=true
The Response headers:

Date: Mon, 21 May 2012 11:08:55 GMT
Content-Encoding: , gzip
X-AREQUESTID: 728x7680x1
Server: nginx
Vary: Accept-Encoding,
Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8
Cache-Control: max-age=86400
X-AUSERNAME: anonymous
Expires: Tue, 22 May 2012 11:08:55 GMT
200 OK

Take a look at the Content-Encoding and Vary headers, they contain commas and undue spaces.

This looks like backend problem, not nginx one. Could you please provide nginx config and debug log (see http://wiki.nginx.org/Debugging for details)?

The log provided isn't debug one. You have to compile nginx with --with-debug configure option to obtain debug log. Quoting the wiki page I've already linked:

To activate debugging log you have to compile nginx with --with-debug configure option and set debug level in error_log directive.

You clearly missed the first step.

Resolution: invalid
Status: newclosed

Feedback timeout. Real issue seems to be backend which incorrectly sends empty Content-Encoding header.
