my website works well with GET method, also few POST methods.

Some pages with POST method doesn't work. Some pages with POST work. For example, login page uses POST that works fine. When I post the data on webpage, firefox says "Connecting..." and finally report connection timed out error.

The same behavior happens with Opera as well.

However Google Chrome works fine.

At the server side, I use nginx 1.2.4 with HTTPS and uwsgi for python (flask framework) app.

I use geotrust certificate.

The same behavior happens with Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.04 on firefox.

  • I tried firefox in safemode, but no luck.
  • Set auto-detect proxy settings. no luck.
  • Cleared all cookies. no luck

Anyone help me to fix this issue?

I am posting ngix config. shame on me. I use root, I know which is not advised. need to fix soon.
