Hello,<br>
<br>
I found strange behavior for php scripts.<br>
when server request is HEAD, I can see some garbage in response.<br>
=========================<br>
HEAD /server.php HTTP/1.1<br>
Host: <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.rss2search.com">www.rss2search.com</a><br>

Helped to fix that disabling mod_gzip for HEAD requests in fastcgi.conf.<br>
if ( $request_method = HEAD )
{
<br>
gzip
off;
<br>
}<br>
<br>
Is this behavior expectible, if so, what best way for nginx.conf to fix
this problem?<br>
