Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points and provides only a vague title plus an unfilled feature template. Start by reproducing the 502 with a Content-Type header over 256k and tracing the request through NGINX's HTTP header handling. Done means the expected behavior and the cause of the gateway error are specified and verified.
