Hi all,
I’m seeing nginx return 2 response bodies for a single POST request
with a body. Using netcat, I only see one response returned on the
command line, but running ngrep I can see two actually on the wire.
When this request is nested in a string of requests on a persistent
connection, the repeated response is mixed up with the subsequent
request.
I have tested this against both nginx 0.6.34 and 0.7.31. The problem
exists in both versions.
A sample request/response is listed here:
POST /redirect HTTP/1.1
Host: 10.16.3.24:8008
Accept-Encoding: identity
Content-Length: 1
(1 space content)
HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily
Server: nginx/0.6.34
Date: Fri, 23 Jan 2009 03:54:58 GMT
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Length: 161
Connection: keep-alive
Location: http://www.test.com/
(302 body here)
I compiled nginx --with-debug and activated debug_http logging, here
it is for this request:
