After upgrading nginx from *1.18* to *1.24* we are getting following error:

upstream sent duplicate header line: "Transfer-Encoding: chunked", previous value: "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" while reading response header from upstream, client: 54.xx.xx.xx, server: backend.example.com, request: "POST /test/file HTTP/1.1", upstream: "http://10.0.xx.xx:6067/test/file", host: "backend.example.com", referrer: "https://app.example.com/

Nginx version: nginx/1.24.0

OS Version: Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS

backend.conf

server {
access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;
index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;

proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_send_timeout 60;
proxy_read_timeout 60;

proxy_set_header Connection '';


The request is successfully processed at the backend(spring-boot) but we are getting above error in error.log of backend Nginx which makes frontend fail with 502

If we remove `include /etc/nginx/http_proxy.conf;` from server block
We are getting following error:

upstream sent invalid chunked response while reading upstream, client: 54.xx.xx.xx,server: backend.example.com, request: "POST /test/file HTTP/1.1”, upstream: "http://10.0.xx.xx:6067/test/file", host: "backend.example.com”, referrer: "https://app.example.com/

Let me know if some other details are required
Any help or direction to solve this issue is appriciated.
Thanks in advance.
