how configure nginx to talk http 1.1 to my backend servers

[Camilo Aguilar]

Hi Cliff,
Thank your for your answer.

My backend is Mule ESB. Change it or modify its configuration, is not an
option for me. I have installed apache 2.2, mod_proxy and mod_proxy_balancer
and all works great, with http1.0 <-> http1.0, http1.0 <->http 1.1 and
 http1.1 <-> http1.1.

I will hope that in future projects I can use nginx because it is a great
server too.

Regards,

Camilo Aguilar

  There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make
it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is
to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first
method is far more difficult.  -C. A. R. Hoare
