HEAD and Nginx nginx-0.6.36-1.el5

[xmichielx]

Hi Igor,

Thanks, do you know why the HEAD is returning a 301 with Apache and a 404 with Nginx?

The nginx access.log:
172.23.3.14 - - [10/Sep/2009:20:45:12 +0200] HEAD /web/MYCE.htm HTTP/1.1 "404" 0
 "-" "Mozilla/4.06  (WinNT; I)" "172.21.0.5, 172.21.0.5"
172.21.0.5 - - [10/Sep/2009:20:45:12 +0200] HEAD /MYCE.htm HTTP/1.0 "404" 0 "-"
"Mozilla/4.06  (WinNT; I)" "-"

The apache log:

172.21.0.5 - - [10/Sep/2009:20:12:56 +0200] "HEAD /MYLER.htm HTTP/1.0" 404 - "-" "Mozilla/4.06  (WinNT; I)"
172.21.0.5 - - [10/Sep/2009:20:12:56 +0200] "HEAD /MYCE.htm HTTP/1.0" 404 - "-" "Mozilla/4.06  (WinNT; I)"
stmycew01.hf.info.nl - - [10/Sep/2009:20:12:58 +0200] "GET /404.html HTTP/1.0" 200 6507 "-" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1)l"
stmycew01.hf.info.nl - - [10/Sep/2009:20:12:58 +0200] "GET /404.html HTTP/1.0" 200 6507 "-" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1)l"
stmycew01.hf.info.nl - - [10/Sep/2009:20:12:58 +0200] "HEAD /web/MYLER.htm HTTP/1.0" 404 - "-" "Mozilla/4.06  (WinNT; I)"


We also see some Apache DNS lookup proxy messages:
   proxy: DNS lookup failure for: 172.23.3.14, 172.23.3.14 returned by /MYLER.htm
   proxy: DNS lookup failure for: 172.23.3.14, 172.23.3.14 returned by /MYCE.htm
   proxy: DNS lookup failure for: 172.23.3.14, 172.23.3.14 returned by /MYLER.htm


Only apache on port 80 (normal setup):

stmycew01.hf.info.nl - - [11/Sep/2009:10:42:57 +0200] "HEAD /MYLER.htm HTTP/1.1" 200 - "-" "Mozilla/4.06  (WinNT; I)"
stmycew01.hf.info.nl - - [11/Sep/2009:10:42:57 +0200] "HEAD /web/MYLER.htm HTTP/1.1" 200 - "-" "Mozilla/4.06  (WinNT; I)"


If you want I can post the nginx.conf and the virtual host?

Kind regards and thanks for your kind help :)

Michiel
