is there a way to avoid output body when a request is calling for a
vhost
that not exist?

Normally when user send a request to nginx server for a server name
doesn’t
exits on nginx server, nginx will reply “Bad Hostname”.

If you (me) add following lines :

    server {
        listen       80;
         server_name  _;
         location / {
             return 404;
         }
   }

some cases of nginx return 404, some return 403.

And in all cases, nginx return a html error page with error message in
body.

Is there a way just return 404 and do not return any more error message
when
user request for a server name which does not exist? OR EVEN BETTER,
just
don’t return anything like the server is dead to those request?

Thanks for any suggestion. I love nginx.

Great. Thanks

But then another question popup:

When use proxy_pass , if the backend server use above technique. The
front-end server will return 502 error and error message html.

Is there an easy way do avoid such output? :expressionless: might not be I guess. It’s
a
bit of tricky

You should use this server at frontend.

As to your question:

 error_page  502  = @444;

 location @444 { return 444; }

some cases of nginx return 404, some return 403.
