Description

When backend server returned HTTP status 204 with Content-Type header.

The Content-Type header is set and sent correctly when using HTTP1.1(over plain-text HTTP or over HTTPS).

However, when making a request using HTTP2 (over TLS), that header is not sent.

I can't see a reason for this and would guess that this is a bug in Nginx. Or am I missing something?

It looks like a bug in ngx_http_v2_header_filter(). In contrast to ngx_http_header_filter(), it clears r->headers_out.content_type not only in case of nginx internal responses (that is, responses without r->headers_out.status_line), but in all cases, including proxied responses. This looks wrong, as 204 responses can have legitimate metadata headers.
