Description

2023/01/16 20:26:56 [error] 25#25: *77 upstream sent invalid header: "Bearer\x20..." while reading response header from upstream, client: c.c.c.c, server: xxx.com, request: "POST /obedesk/yyy/yyy HTTP/1.1", upstream: "https://n.n.n.n:p/obedesk/yyy/yyy", host: "xxx.com", referrer: "https://xxx.com/xxx/"

Versions 10.20.2 or lower work normally, but when I tested 10.22.1 I had this error, I tried several things but was unsuccessful.

Starting with version 1.21.1, nginx always rejects invalid headers, such as the one with space in a header name:

    *) Change: now nginx always returns an error if spaces or control
       characters are used in a header name.

This applies to both headers received from clients, and headers got from upstream servers.

It looks like your backend server returns responses with an invalid header. Previously this worked, because nginx simply passed such headers to the client, but now such responses are rejected by nginx. To fix this, you have to fix the backend server to return correct responses.
