Some comment on config at http://pastie.caboo.se/22547

Line 29:
Change "http_x_forwarded_for" to "$http_x_forwarded_for".

Line 54:
There is no "text/js" mime-type.
Use "application/x-javascript" instead.

Line 77:
You do not need this
       if (-f $request_filename/index.html) {
           rewrite (.*) $1/index.html last;
           break;
       }

because the same check is at line 90.

It's normal in debug log. It's garbage in memory.
