a
lot of HTTP 400 errors. Also connection refused upstream is coming a
lot!

Can someone suggest what are these errors and suggest resolution.

Thanks for the replies

what version are you running? i think nginx had troubles with some
mobile phones as they send two Host
headers, the issue got fixed recently.

3

the stable 0.5.x version

4

I just realized that they have a newer stable release available. Has
someone
fixed such an issue with this upgrade?

regards

The upgrade does not resolve the problem.

nginx does not like “.” and “_” in header names:

“x-nokia.wia.accept.original”
“X-Nokia-CONNECTION_MODE”

However, it simply ignores them and logs them at info level.

The request

“GET
/waphandler?cid=14131C047A5041424257475C4657455C8D8F&ua=SPICE-S808%2FWAP+Browser&ip=ip_zest&mt=Insert
relevant metadata here&request=impression HTTP /1.0”

is invalid because is contains unescaped spaces in URI:
“mt=Insert relevant metadata here”

will nginx still serve this? in my opinion it should understand the
request and still handle it. we can’t necessarily control the input
but we can control the handling of it…
