Hello,

I am running nginx-0.8.35 on Fedora release 12, and I have a question  
about  
cookies. I am using nginx as a reverse SSL proxy to an IIS application  
(Team City). Every time I hit the proxy address the backend webserver  
tells  
me to (enable cookies). I tried to read though the documents on how to  
get  
cookies to work, but I can’t seem to get the backend server to work  
correctly with cookies. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Sincerely,

Scott Behrens

If anyone has any suggestions on this, please let me know. I am not  
certain on how to get this to work.

Thank-you,

Scott,  
Disable proxy buffering and caching. This will resolve it.

I’ve ran into this issue several times but have yet to find a clear  
explanation how to enable cookies and allow caching.
