Hi
Thanks

The redirect response is from content handler context.

Using the code you added

cause Nginx to send back the Error Page (302) with Content-Length and Content-Type ("test/html") (And I am trying avoid that) without Body


That's why I assumed using r->header_only = 1  will solve my problem but as you explained it is used for other cases.
please see that in ngx_http_send_special_response when this flag set to 1 the Header is set with this fields but no body in response (I think this is not a good result)

if adding in the beginning of the function (ngx_http_send_special_response) the following code it solves the problem:

  if (r->header_only == 1)
  {
       ngx_http_clear_accept_ranges(r);
       ngx_http_clear_last_modified(r);

        rc = ngx_http_send_header(r);

        return rc;
   }

Is there any other way I can avoid content length and content-type in 302 response
Thanks
Hagai
