AFAIK there was no change anywhere, but this is not 100% certain. Though, anything must have changed, but nobody knows what this could be. At least it has worked for long time, but suddenly not anymore. So, the problem is this: If I try to fetch 100 images with a http2 connection, many requests get a 502 response. If I do it with 20 images, all seems to be fine. The problem occur only if the reverse proxy is used. If the images gets fetched directly, there is never a 502 response. I tested that in browsers but also with curl on the command line. The specified nginx version is 1.16.1 and the system is RHEL 8. But I tried it also with Fedora an nginx 1.20.2 in a VM with the same results. Using curl on linux (mac is not able), you can try using the reverse proxy with this (you should see some 502 responses): {{{ curl --http2 -Z -svo /dev/null
