​​That is a wrong assumption and an inadequate blame on Apache.

The list you are mentioning and which is directly linked in the nginx
example you referenced (RFC 7540, Appendix A
<https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7540#appendix-A>)​ ​uses the MAY keyword,
defined as 'truly optional'.
nginx has made the choice​ of strictly following RFC advice, but technology
who don't make no violation *per se*.

Thus, this configuration *can* work and the problem is definitely elsewhere
(cf. Valentin message for example).
