Error 400

I just finished going through the following tutorial, but keep getting an error when trying to access my rails app: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-deploy-rails-apps-using-unicorn-and-nginx-on-centos-6-5

When I access my droplet’s URL I get the following error: 400 Bad Request: Request Header Or Cookie Too Large

The nginx error log shows the following: client sent too long header line: "X-Forwarded-For: [my computer’s ip], [my droplet’s ip multiple times]

It looks like something is causing an infinite loop with the droplet IP, but I can’t find anywhere in the configuration that would cause that.

commenting the ‘X-Forwarded-For’ line in default.conf gets rid of the 400 error, but leads to a 502 Bad Gateway error.

Here is what I have in my default.conf (website info redacted):

upstream app { # Path to Unicorn SOCK file, as defined previously server unix:/tmp/unicorn.<redacted>.sock fail_timeout=0; }

server {

listen 80;
server_name localhost;

# Application root, as defined previously
root /usr/share/nginx/html/<redacted>;

try_files $uri/index.html $uri @<redacted>;

location @<redacted> {
   # proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
    proxy_redirect off;
    proxy_pass <redacted>;
 }

large_client_header_buffers 4 32k;
error_page 500 502 503 504 /500.html;
client_max_body_size 4G;
keepalive_timeout 10;

}

I am unfortunately out of ideas so any help would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
