Try handling 494 errors instead. It's a custom code used to
report "Request Header Too Large" errors, translated to 400 just
before returning to client. It was introduced in nginx 0.9.4 to
make it possible to define a custom error page for these
particular errors separately from generic 400 errors.
(It looks like it's not documented anywhere but in CHANGES though.
This needs to be fixed.)
