Hi,

I’ve upgraded to nginx 1.2.0, I’m using passenger 3.0.12 on a Suse SLE  
11.1 server.

Since upgrading from nginx 1.0.10 I’m getting lots of errors like  
these:

2012/04/30 18:13:37 [info] 10435#0: \*379 client prematurely closed  
connection while reading client request line, client: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx,  
server: localhost

There are 6-7 of these generated for almost every request.

Any ideas on what is causing these, is there something I need to change  
or adjust?

Thanks,

Etienne.
