I have been testing nginx 1.6.0 as a reverse proxy with SPDY support. I
sometimes get empty responses. I have seen a bug report
(#428 (SPDY and Proxy Cache prematurely closes connections) – nginx) about this which seems to be in
line with what I have been seeing. It’s marked as fixed but there seems
some
confusion about whether this fix was accepted. I have also seen that
various
SPDY related issues were fixed in 1.7.x mainline and I was waiting for
1.6.1
in the hope that these would be retrofitted to 1.6.1.

So, I would just like to do if these empty response issues have been
addressed? It seems like a major stability concern.

It was fixed in nginx 1.7.3.

You should use mainline version. SPDY fix isn’t a critical one, so it’s
unlikely to be merged in 1.6.

Ok, yeah, I’m using Trusty Tahr and I was hoping to stay on stable but
as I
understand it, mainline can be considered production quality.

Thanks
