> It works (with curl and a IE6 user-agent I get my custom error message), the problem is that IE6 (real browser) displays its default error page (because my message is < of 512 bytes). But msie_padding on should "fix" that, am I wrong?

No, nginx adds this padding only to its internal messages.

Per poter visualizzare il sito aggiorna ad una versione successiva o installa un browser alternativo (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera ...)." and it displays my error.


You create page for MSIE6:
error_page  402 = /msie6.html;

and return 402 error:

if ($http_user_agent ~ "MSIE 6") {
    return 402;
}
