It appears that the cross-posting between the two mailing lists 
has truncated my original post... 

Here's a bit more context from Mike's original post:

Basically I'm having the same issue, and no matter how many different
variations of my nginx.conf I try, I can not get it to serve my custom 
413.html error page, but *always* serves the default nginx 413 one.

Here's the relevant snippet from my nging.conf file:

        error_page  413              /413.html;
        location = /413.html {
            root   /usr/local/nginx/html;
        }

Any ideas?  Many thanks in advance,
