Wired Firefox / Nginx problem

dnwkdnwk Member

I am doing a reverse proxy in Nginx with SSL. However, when visiting the site via Firefox, I receive a 502 Bad Gateway error. But it works find with all other browsers. Anyone know where is the problem?

    It sounds like your other browsers are caching.

    Solved. Thanks

  • Sounds like it might be related to the new mozilla pkix SSL verification library. Are you using a self-signed SSL certificate and the latest Firefox (31)? Long story short, Mozilla's new SSL verification library rejects self signed SSL certificates, silently, if they're created wrong (and by created wrong, I mean "following the directions of 99.99% of SSL tutorials on the web") without giving you a way to accept the cert.

    Try setting security.use_mozillapkix_verification to false in about:config. If that solves the problem, the new pkix is the issue, and can be remedied by creating a new certificate using the "-extensions usr_cert" option for openssl.

    OH????? how about tell us, how to solve that problem??

  • firefox caching, the best way is clear cache AND "site preferences".

    also check your nginx
