Nginx post ONE request to one more upstream_addr

Server NGINX
1

hi, everyone,

nginx version is 0.8.53,
configure (http definition) is :

http{
upstream my_loads {
server 10.10.1.12;
server 10.10.1.13;
}

log_format combined_addsvr '$remote_addr - $remote_user

[$time_local] ’
'“$request” $status $body_bytes_sent ’
'“$http_referer” “$http_user_agent”
$upstream_addr
$upstream_cache_status ';
access_log logs/access.log combined_addsvr;

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name mytest.com;
    client_max_body_size 100m;
    proxy_buffering off;
    proxy_read_timeout 120;
    proxy_send_timeout 120;
    client_body_timeout 120;
    send_timeout  120;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://my_loads/;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    }
}

===========================================

there is a strange line in log file: (sorry to use xxx replace of true
url)
192.168.1.1 - - [14/Jun/2011:20:53:24 +0800] “POST /1.php HTTP/1.1” 200
3729558 “mytest.com - This website is for sale! - my test Resources and Information.” “Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0;)”
10.10.1.12:80, 10.10.1.13:80 -

when nginx deals with 1.php, it sends POST to all upstream servers!

the next is normal log:
192.168.1.1 - - [14/Jun/2011:20:53:44 +0800] “POST /1.php HTTP/1.1” 302
2 "
mytest.com - This website is for sale! - my test Resources and Information." “Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0;)”
10.10.1.12:80 -

Could anyone tell me if it is a bug or just any configure improperly?
thanks.

nginx will retry request on next upstream server if first one
failed, see here:

Thanks Dounin,

actually, both 10.10.1.12 and 10.10.1.13 received the POST items with
1.php
(so repeat ran the script) ,
and why both servers being recorded as Upstream_addr in the log file?

oh, I see,

Maybe the POST data is too big, then first upstream server cannot
response
in time. I forgot to point one fact , that is one server maybe only
receive
part of POST data.

thanks again, Dounin.

Most likely it’s failed to respond in time, and that’s why nginx
retried request. Don’t hesitate to look into error_log, it should
has details.

Variable $upstream_addr should contain addresses of all upstream
servers tried, this is how it works.
