In the example above you see that the browser loads the full file. We made a transition from apache to nginx and we found this out because useres wrote us about longer loading times.

Or use Fiddler if you're testing Windows browsers (www.fiddler2.com).
It acts as a debugging proxy, and shows you the entire conversation,
with lots of useful tools. I find it better than Firebug for tracking
down HTTP-layer issues, because as a proxy it supports any browser, or
even web services clients. It can also act as a "man in the middle" on
SSL connections too (with certificate warnings of course).
