I've been getting this error a lot in my testing. I never received it with Apache. I understand what the message say but not why it's coming about. My headers being sent have length. Or is this message referring to content returned by PHP at the server end? I'm sure one of you experts here knows what's going on with this. I only get it on POST requests and not most of my ajax calls (which are GET).

Thanks for any help with tracking this down. I'm seeing it in Firebug and when it occurs I cannot see the real response content - even though content is indeed returned as well since it has effect on my javascript code and updates the screen. Weird. Chris :)

Set error_log level to info:

error_log /path/to/log info;

Then nginx will log a reason. Now there are 3 reasons:

"client sent invalid "Content-Length" header" "client sent ... method without "Content-Length" header" "client sent "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" header"

The last reason is nginx feature: it still does not support chunked body.

Response from server:

<html>

<head><title>411 Length Required</title></head>

<body bgcolor="white">

<center><h1>411 Length Required</h1></center>

<hr><center>nginx/0.6.32</center>

</body>

</html>

Header sent to server using ajax (only removed some identity info, HOST line):
