Description

When sending bad requests like

OPTIONS / RTSP/1.0

Nginx will response 400 Bad Request without any response headers.
I think this should be done with response headers because some load balancers like haproxy detect these responses as an invalid response!

Resolution: duplicate
Status: newclosed

As already explained in http://mailman.nginx.org/pipermail/nginx-devel/2020-March/013051.html, this non-HTTP request is interpreted as HTTP/0.9 request, and nginx responds accordingly. That is, the observed behaviour is not a bug. If a load balancer you use is not happy with the response, you may want to configure it to avoid passing non-HTTP requests to nginx, or fix it be prepared to non-HTTP-1.x responses.

This, however, might be an additional reason to stop accepting non-escaped spaces as discussed in ticket #196. Closing this as a duplicate of #196.
