Nginx is not responding for android mobile using org.apache.http Post Request

Server NGINX
1

Hi,

I am newbie to Nginx. I am running my ruby on rails application with
nginx and mongrel cluster. when i send the http POST request from
android mobile native app, i am not able to get the response. but for
GET request i am able to get the response properly.

i have tried following also

  if ($request_method !~ ^(GET|POST|HEAD)$ ) {
     return 444;
  }

still i am not able to get it work done.

What could be the problem?

Note : when i run my application in single port without nginx. i am able
to get the response properly. so i suspect that the problem exist in the
nginx configuration.

Please anybody help me to fix this issue.

Regards,
Bala.

So maybe you should post your configuration?

Well the following is my configuration :

Server Configuration

Processor : 2x AMD Quad core 2382 @ 2.70Hz

Ram : 32GB memory

OS : CentOS release 5.3 (Final)

Nginx Version

nginx version: nginx/0.7.65
built by gcc 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-46)
configure arguments: --with-poll_module --with-select_module
–with-rtsig_module

Sample Configuration File

user and group to run as

user root;

number of nginx workers

worker_processes 2;

pid of nginx master process

pid /var/run/nginx.pid;

Number of worker connections. 1024 is a good default

events {
worker_connections 4000;
#use poll;
multi_accept on;
accept_mutex on;
accept_mutex_delay 50ms;
epoll_events 1024;
}

start the http module where we config http access.

http {

pull in mime-types. You can break out your config

into as many include’s as you want to make it cleaner

include /usr/local/nginx/conf/mime.types;

set a default type for the rare situation that

nothing matches from the mimie-type include

default_type application/octet-stream;

charset utf-8;
source_charset utf-8;
clinet_header_buffer_size 40k;
large_clinet_header_buffers 4 30k;

configure log format

log_format main '“Status” $status “Bytes” $bytes_sent “u Addr:”
$upstream_addr “u status” $upstream_status “U Response”

$upstream_response_time “MSec” $msec ';

log_format error '“Status” $status “Bytes” $bytes_sent “u Addr:”
$upstream_addr “u status” $upstream_status “U Response”

$upstream_response_time “MSec” $msec ';

main access log

#access_log /var/log/nginx/nginx_access.log main;
access_log off;

main error log

error_log /var/log/nginx/nginx_error.log error;

no sendfile on OSX

sendfile on;
keepalive_timeout 5;

These are good default values.

tcp_nopush on;
tcp_nodelay on;

output compression saves bandwidth

gzip off;

client_body_timeout 1s;

upstream Sample {
