What does status code 000 mean in the Nginx logs? I have the following
in
the config:
location = /get-img.pl
{
limit_req zone=slow burst=10;
proxy_pass http://service_perl;
}
get-img.pl generates an image, writes it to disk and then returns
“X-Accel-Redirect” to the image. Everything seems to be working just
fine, I
see delayed responses because of limit_req in the logs (with code 200).
Sometimes there are responses with code 503 for “greedy” clients that
exceed
the burst=10 parameter. All as expected.
However, occasionally I see a bunch of requests (around 5 to 20 within a
few
seconds of each other) with status code 000 and 0 for the body size in
the
logs. They are always from the same IP address for the entire bunch, so
I’m
guessing it’s requests that already went through internal
“X-Accel-Redirect”
redirect and then something happened. Connection aborted? Something
else?
Why not status code 503? That’s where you come in with a helpful
explanation.
