Description

Tested with multiple versions. This is the simplest case that can be reproduced. Apologies if not following standards here, this is my first nginx bug report.

Intention: I want to leverage proxy with keepalive using the upstream API. When the upstream returns a non-200 status code, I want to capture this and return a different page with a 200 status code.

What happens: If I set proxy_intercept_errors on with error_page directives, an upstream error code kills the keepalive connection. This is not desirable, because both ends have the intention to keep the connection open.

Working config:

        upstream nginx_upstream {
          server nginx.org;
          keepalive 5;
        }

        server {
          listen 127.0.0.1:80;
          location ^~ /test/ {
            rewrite ^/test/(.*) /$1 break;
            proxy_pass http://nginx_upstream;
            proxy_set_header Host nginx.org;
            proxy_http_version 1.1;
            proxy_set_header Connection "";
            proxy_socket_keepalive on;
            #proxy_intercept_errors on;
            #error_page 404 =200 /index.html;
          }
        }

Not working config:

        upstream nginx_upstream {
          server nginx.org;
          keepalive 5;
        }

        server {
          listen 127.0.0.1:80;
          location ^~ /test/ {
            rewrite ^/test/(.*) /$1 break;
            proxy_pass http://nginx_upstream;
            proxy_set_header Host nginx.org;
            proxy_http_version 1.1;
            proxy_set_header Connection "";
            proxy_socket_keepalive on;
            proxy_intercept_errors on;
            error_page 404 =200 /index.html;
          }
        }

Testing (from localhost):
curl -v 127.0.0.1:80/test/ > /dev/null (returns 200 from upstream)
curl -v 127.0.0.1:80/test/asdf > /dev/null (returns 404 from upstream)

Logging (debug) with working config:
$ tail -f /var/log/nginx/error.log | grep 'free keepalive'
2022/09/02 16:23:01 [debug] 162002#162002: *1 free keepalive peer

Logging (debug) with not working config:
$ tail -f /var/log/nginx/error.log | grep 'free keepalive'
2022/09/02 16:28:33 [debug] 162429#162429: *1 free keepalive peer

2022/09/02 16:28:43 [debug] 162429#162429: *3 free keepalive peer

Verified with GDB that keepalive = 0 in the upstream connection. In tcpdump I can see the FIN packets coming from my host.
