Hi,

It seems to me add\_header and error\_page don’t work together (error  
pages  
don’t have headers added in the http scope).

This ([Add\_header directive not working for 40x and 50x responses - NGINX - Ruby-Forum](http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/196700)) old posting from 2009 also  
says so, and claims the only workaround is the non-standard headers-more  
module.

Am I missing something? Any chance this oversight will be fixed in  
mainline  
nginx?

Thanks,

- Yaniv
