I think nginx is returning the same thing for you both, and that curl
fails to parse this bogus HTTP response (maybe you are using different
curl releases).

If we look again at Brian's curl output, we don't see any Server header
in the response, which is not configurable in nginx afaik:

< HTTP/1.1 429 nginx/1.4.3  <--- THIS IS WRONG
< Date: Sun, 27 Oct 2013 17:12:42 GMT
< Content-Length: 0
< Connection: keep-alive



From rfc2616#section-6.1 [1]:

While nginx seems to return:
  HTTP-Version SP Status-Code CRLF

as per Francis' output.

The Reason-Phrase clearly is a hard requirement and cannot be omitted.

Lukas
