nginx/1.3.2 - 4xx responses are returned without HTTP headers, bug?

[Sjon Hortensius]

Hi,

I think I stumbled upon a bug in nginx but I would like to get someone 
else's opinion on this.

It seems all 4xx errors are not prefixed by headers in HTTP responses. I 
have a simple test-script in bash which you can run to verify this behavior:

function req { echo -n "GET /bugtest?id="; for i in `seq 15000 17100` ; 
do echo -n "%7C$i" ; done ; echo -en "HTTP/1.1\nUser-Agent: 
Mozilla/5.0\nConnection: Close\nHost: wiki.nginx.org\r\n\r\n" ; } ; req 
| nc wiki.nginx.org 80

I can also reproduce this for other 4xx responses. My interpretation of 
the RFC is that this is unwanted, see 
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616#section-6.1

If this is not the appropriate place to report this please let me know 
as I couldn't find a better place to report this.
