Hello Nginx Group.
I am new to Ngnix and installing my first Nginx/Django server. I’ve
been struggling with a Bad Request 400 Error for two days now and I have
nowhere else to go. Here is the problem:
I have Nginx configured with django. My default config file is below.
I am have a basic django-piston REST service setup that works correctly
with django’s runserver. The following two commands work perfectly with
django’s runserver http server:
url = ‘http://localhost/receipts’
GET receipts data
req = urllib2.Request(url)
f = urllib2.urlopen(req)
POST Receipts data with json data
data =
req = urllib2.Request(url, data=data, headers={‘Content-Type’:
‘application/json’})
f = urllib2.urlopen(req)
When I run the same requests against my nginx installation the GET
function works just fine. However, the POST request returns a HTTP
Error 400: BAD REQUEST error.
It is exactly the same code and I know this is working with the django
runserver. It must be some configuration in Nginx that is regecting the
POST request. I get that error for any Content-Type.
I have looked everywhere and I cannot find anything about allowing this
post request. I hope someone here can help nudge me in the right
direction. My Nginx config file settings is below. I have modified
many variables like buffer sizes and body sizes and it is not that. The
data I’m posting is less than 8k.
Any ideas?

default_type application/json;
