Secure nginx

[Dave Cheney]

Both of those attack vectors relate to web applications, not web  
servers. Nginx and apache do their part to make sure any data proxied  
through them to the web application is well formed. However it is the  
applications job, not the web servers, to make sure it behaves  
correctly in the presence of untrusted data.

Cheers

Dave
