Nginx proxying luwak (http 1.1 to backend needed)

[John Axel Eriksson]

I wrote a mail to the list a few days ago where I was having trouble proxying to luwak but not
to riak (see http://riak.basho.com - it's a database among other things). The problem with luwak
and nginx is that luwak returns a chunked response and this is probably where it goes wrong -
Nginx doesn't support http 1.1 to backend. Luwak is kind of like a blob store where the blobs are
usually files of any type - usually quite large in the several megabytes to several gigabytes range.

Using Nginx for this becomes impossible without http 1.1 support to backends and I guess I have to
look at Apache again which I REALLY don't want to do - I love Nginx :-).

So, my question is, is there anything planned for http 1.1 support to backend servers?


Kind regards,
John
