Note that you can configure interception of only 500 error page,
as nginx will only intercept errors you have an explicit
error_page for. That is, a configuration like this will only
intercept 500, but not 404:
location / {
proxy_pass http://backend;
proxy_intercept_errors on;
error_page 500 /error500.httml;
}
location = /error500.html {
...
}
This won't allow to test if the returned upstream error response
is blank or not, but may be enough for your use case based on the
above description.
