Just found out that the exact missing setting was to force http 1.1 (i’m just testing without ssl for now): “proxy_http_version 1.1”.
as in:
location / {
proxy_http_version 1.1; # <------------------------------
proxy_pass http://localhost:some-port-here;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection "Upgrade";
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header Access-Control-Allow-Origin *;
proxy_read_timeout 900;
}
