Okay; I should have been more specific. I meant that nginx is unique among *general-purpose* web servers.
GWS is something of an special case; it also accepts requests with no Host header, and doesn't validate the version string (e.g., HTTP/1.999999999 is accepted). Google has opted into these strange behaviors because it makes sense for them as the only users of GWS. These are, of course, bad defaults for a general-purpose HTTP/1.1 server. The "silently ignore invalid headers" behavior, imo, falls into the same category. -Ben _______________________________________________ nginx-devel mailing list nginx-devel@nginx.org https://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx-devel
