The easiest way is to send the status line + header bigger than proxy_buffer_size bytes. Another way is to send a null byte somewhere in the response header. You can also try sending broken line and header termination: CR followed by a non-LF byte. -- Roman Arutyunyan _______________________________________________ nginx mailing list nginx@nginx.org http://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx
