How to fix nginx throws 400 bad request headers on any header testing tools?

As stated by Maxim Dounin in the comments above:

When nginx returns 400 (Bad Request) it will log the reason into error log, at “info” level. Hence an obvious way to find out what’s going on is to configure error_log to log messages at “info” level and take a look into error log when testing.
