tRPC sends duplicate header

i tried setting up a reverse proxy for my NextJS + tRPC app using those 3 options: - nginx - traefik - caddy in all of them when i try to invoke a procedure using a .useMutation() hook it fails with such error: nginx: upstream sent duplicate header line: "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" traefik, caddy: net/http: HTTP/1.x transport connection broken: too many transfer encodings: [\"chunked\" \"chunked\"] after investigating a bit in nginx i can see that it indeed sends it twice:
