Hi,
In my Nginx environment, if I post to a URL that it handles and I set the request header If-Match, then it returns with: 412 Precondition Failed. I'm assuming this is normally the expected behavior. However, I want Nginx to ignore all headers and just pass them through. Any ideas how to do that?

Thanks

I have the same problem - I need to be able to handle resource comparison logic myself. How can I do this?

I am facing similar issue wherein nginx throws 412 for If-Match even when response header etag value matches it for a GET request.
Also request is being handled via X-Accel-Redirect flow having few hops

Here's sample debug error log for clue

Looks like the 412 is coming from your backend (apache) and not nginx.
