I am testing it using http://hurl.it and manually adding the header, so I am fairly confident the header is getting passed(at least in testing). What Massimo suggested, wsgi not passing it, could be the issue. I have a pretty vanilla nginx install on linode. My install pretty much followed this script http://code.google.com/p/web2py/source/browse/scripts/setup-web2py-nginx-uwsgi-ubuntu.sh.
I will dig into the wsgi config on nginx, maybe the default config doesn't pass custom headers. On Jan 3, 7:06 am, Anthony <[email protected]> wrote: > Can you confirm that the header is being sent?
