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?
