This is because you said it to.

No, it's not allowed by a protocol (unless request was HEAD).
Response body must be present. It may be empty though.

It is. You should set content length, then chunked encoding won't
be used. You may take a look at ngx_http_send_response() for a
complete code (and the function is actually a usefull helper for
simple cases when you need to return some predefined response).

But actually to return a 302 redirect from a content handler it's
enough to set Location header and return NGX_HTTP_MOVED_TEMPORARILY,
i.e. to do something like this:

ngx_http_clear_location(r);

r->headers_out.location = ngx_palloc(r->pool, sizeof(ngx_table_elt_t));
if (r->headers_out.location == NULL) {
return NGX_HTTP_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR;
}

/*
* we do not need to set the r->headers_out.location->hash and
* r->headers_out.location->key fields
*/

ngx_str_set(&r->headers_out.location->value, "http://example.com/");

return NGX_HTTP_MOVED_TEMPORARILY;

(The code was mostly borrowed from static module, with minor
modification.)
