[Thomas Ward]

Package: libnginx-mod-nchan

Severity: serious

Version: 1.18.0-3

Copied from Downstream bug in Ubuntu on Launchpad
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nginx/+bug/1874831)

The libnginx-mod-nchan package which is built from the nginx source
package distributes an old nchan module. The nginx source package has
bundled nchan 1.0.8 which has known issues when running with nginx >=
1.13.10

The upstream issue documents that nginx has had some changes that break
nchan < v1.2.0
https://github.com/slact/nchan/issues/460
<https://github.com/slact/nchan/issues/460>

Suggestion, update nchan to >= v1.2.0 (best v1.2.7).

this is the error I get when using the
`nchan_publisher_upstream_request` directive:

2020/04/24 01:00:35 [error] 9#9: *6 nchan: unexpected publisher message
request body buffer location. please report this to the nchan
developers. while sending to client, client: 127.0.0.1, server: _,
request: "POST /publish?topic=one HTTP/1.1", subrequest:
"/authorize_pub", upstream: "http://127.0.0.1:5000/authorize_pub
<http://127.0.0.1:5000/authorize_pub>", host: "127.0.0.1"

You may want to include the latest stable version of nchan in the
package.  As is, nchan is broken.
