outstanding fastcgi connections

Hi, I have a FASTCGI server listening over UDS to HTTP request from NGINX. For some reason, the requests stopped reaching the FASTCGI server. netstats -nap shows one socket connection in LISTENING state (as expected), one in CONNECTED state (not sure there should be such session hanging around),

Re: HTTP 505 error message supported by NGINX?

Thank you B.R. I wonder why 505 was not supported. Posted at Nginx Forum: http://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,260754,260768#msg-260768 ___ nginx mailing list nginx@nginx.org http://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx

Re: HTTP 505 error message supported by NGINX?

Thank you Francis. The body content did the trick ... not as aesthetically pleasing to the eyes as the NGINX's "hard-coded reason phrase", but it is better than a blank page. I did not understand what you meant by a config to control the reason phrase. Thanks again. Posted at Nginx Forum: http://

Re: HTTP 505 error message supported by NGINX?

I have my FCGI server send "HTTP/1.1 505 Version Not Supported\r\nStatus: 505 Version Not Supported\r\n\r\n". In nginx.conf, I have: fastcgi_intercept_errors on; error_page 505 /errpage; location /errpage { try_files /version_not_supported.html =5

HTTP 505 error message supported by NGINX?

Hi, does NGINX support the generation of the error message for HTTP error code 505? For example, I see "401 Authorization Required" when running nginx 1.6.2 but I don't see anything for 505. NGINX would return "505 OK" in the HTTP response. Thank you. Posted at Nginx Forum: http://forum.nginx.

Re: fastcgi_pass / error page /error code in HTTP rsp

I also tried fastcgi_pass_header Status; along with the fastcgi_intercept_errors directive. NGINX still returned 200 OK instead of the 400 sent by the fastcgi server. Posted at Nginx Forum: http://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,259436,259464#msg-259464 __

Re: fastcgi_pass / error page /error code in HTTP rsp

Hi, I expected fastcgi_intercept_errors to return a static error page AND to have include the HTTP error code (e.g. 400) in the HTTP response header. >From what I see, it returns the static error page but with 200 OK. Is it the expected behavior? If yes, is there a way to have nginx return the erro

Re: fastcgi_pass / error page /error code in HTTP rsp

Thank you Maxim, that was what I was looking for. However, it is still not returning the static error page. Does nginx expect a certain response format from the fcgi server? I tried: "HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request\r\nStatus: 400 Bad Request\r\n"; and "HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request"; The nginx.conf has:

fastcgi_pass / error page /error code in HTTP rsp

Hi, I would like nginx to map a fastcgi error response a static error page, and include the HTTP error code in its HTTP response header; e.g. 1. have nginx return the proper error code in its header to the client. 2. have nginx return the proper error page based on the fastcgi_pass server's respon

end-to-end disconnect notification?

Hi, given client --(tcp)-->nginx --(fcgi)-->fcgi server --(tcp)--> back-end server if the client initiates a TCP disconnect, is there a way for NGINX to carry out the termination to the fcgi server? Or if the back-end server disconnects, how can the fcgi server communicate the disconnect all the w

what does fastcgi_keep_conn do?

Hi, I would like nginx to serve all requests of a given TCP connection to the same FCGI server. If a new TCP connection is established, then nginx would select the next UDS FCGI server in round-robin fashion. Can this be achieved with NGINX, and if yes, how? I thought turning on fastcgi_keep_conn

Limit the number of buffered connections?

Re: buffering / uploading large files

I was using 1.7.9 and it was crashing so I now go by the stable version 1.6.2 per http://nginx.org/en/download.html. Whichever version I use, I will need the fastcgi_request_buffering directive patch. Thanks. Posted at Nginx Forum: http://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,256378,256591#msg-256591 _

Re: buffering / uploading large files

Hi, the situation that I am trying to solve is what happens if the client's request is larger than the configured client_max_body_size. Turning off buffering by nginx should resolve the problem as nginx would forward every packet to the back-end server as it comes in. Did I misunderstand the purpos

Re: buffering / uploading large files

Thanks Kurt. The patch compiled and got installed fine. I no longer get an unknown directive error msg. However, the client's POST request of 1.5M of data still gives me this error "413 Request Entity Too Large" even though I added "fastcgi_request_buffering off;" location / { includ

How to pass fastcgi custom variables in C?

Re: How to return a cookie to a client when auth_request is used?

In case it will help someone else, the problem turned out to be in the FastCGI auth server's printf, the last "statement" of the HTTP header should end with \n\n instead of \r\n. The following was wrong: printf("Content-type: text/html\n\n" "Set-Cookie: name=AuthCookie\r\n" "FastCGI 9010: Hello!\n

Re: How to return a cookie to a client when auth_request is used?

Thank you Maxim, it is much better in the sense that I am not getting an error at NGINX start time, but the FastCGI back-end server listening at port 9000 does not seem to get the cookie set by the FastCGI auth server, nor any data from a POST request body or data generated by FastCGI auth app. O
