Update:

Closer inspection in wireshark shows that nginx sends RST roughly in a
half of cases whereas the other half of connections is closed correctly.

In the successful cases, nginx receives response headers + another 4
packets and then flup is the one who closes the connection.

In the failed cases, nginx sends FIN,ACK followed by RST right after it
receives response headers.

Any ideas why nginx is sending RST?
