网上大把的文章说是HTTP头/Cookie过大引起的,可以修改nginx.conf中两参数来修正.

client_header_buffer_size 16k;
large_client_header_buffers 4 32k;

修改后

client_header_buffer_size 64k;
large_client_header_buffers 4 64k;

没有效果,就算我把nginx0.7.62升到最新的0.8.54也没能解决.
在官方论坛中nginx作者提到空主机头不会返回自定义的状态码,是返回400错误.

最后修正如下
改为原先的值

client_header_buffer_size 16k;
large_client_header_buffers 4 32k;

关闭默认主机的日志记录就可以解决问题

server {
listen *:80 default;
server_name _;
return 444;
access_log off;
}
