I tried a similar setup with nginx 0.6.x a while back, but I ended up getting "411 Length Required" for requests without the Content-Length header. If I recall correctly a HTTP/1.1 client does not have to specify Content-Length when doing chunked encoding (TE: chunked) transfer, but nginx is not compliant with this. This is mainly an issue with PUT and POST requests. Did you bump into this or is it perhaps fixed in newer nginx?
