Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported location configuration with the echo and proxy directives, then inspect the echo-nginx-module behavior when the proxied response produces no visible output. Compare the HTTP response and access.log/error.log results with the expected behavior described in the issue; done means the behavior is explained or corrected and verified with a focused reproduction.

Description

location / {
echo "haha";
proxy_pass http://www.xxxxx.net;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_set_header Host www.xxxxx.net;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
}

Access. log and error.log and HTTP response are not available. What should haha do to display?
