Hello,

I found strange behavior for php scripts.
when server request is HEAD, I can see some garbage in response.
=========================
HEAD /server.php HTTP/1.1
Host: www.rss2search.com
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.6)

this noneprintable bytes is: 1F8B080000000000000303000000000000000000

Helped to fix that disabling mod_gzip for HEAD requests in fastcgi.conf.
if ( $request_method = HEAD ) {
gzip off;
}

Is this behavior expectible, if so, what best way for nginx.conf to fix
this problem?
