Hi all

First kudos to all of the maintainers of modules and the nginx team.  
Great product guys!!

I am getting an intermittent error where the headers of a 302 redirect  
are being shown as the body in the browser. The connect sits for a long  
time and then this is show in the browser

0

Ideas? config:

proxy\_redirect off;

```
                    proxy_set_header Host $host;
                    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP

```

$remote\_addr;  
proxy\_set\_header X-Forwarded-For  
$proxy\_add\_x\_forwarded\_for;  
proxy\_pass\_request\_headers on;

```

Also the 302 is being reported in the browser as a 200.

I have compiled nginx with debug and I am getting:

kolbyjack on irc helped me figure this out. The preceding call did not  
return any data correctly, and thus a 0\ was stuck in the buffer. Fixed
