fireye quote: ---------------------------------------- Got it figured out, this is a quirk of HTTP/2.0 vs 1.1. Per RFC-2616: The Upgrade header field is intended to provide a simple mechanism for transition from HTTP/1.1 to some other, incompatible protocol. It looks like nginx discards the Upgrade header, when presented by a client, if the client communicates via HTTP2.0 already. You can confirm this by using the --http1.1 flag with curl and looking at the headers being transferred. ----------------------------------------- Posted at Nginx Forum: https://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,286719,286721#msg-286721 _______________________________________________ nginx mailing list nginx@nginx.org http://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx
