The HTTP 501 Not Implemented error indicates that the server lacks the capability to fulfill the requested operation. This error occurs when a request method is unrecognized or unsupported by the server. In web scraping, this often happens when making requests with unusual or non-standard methods that the target website does not handle.
The server does not support the functionality required to fulfill the request.
The server does not recognize the request method used in the HTTP request, which can happen if a scraper mistakenly sends an unsupported method.
The server recognizes the request method but is configured not to support it, possibly as an anti-scraping measure.
The server lacks the necessary coding or resources to support the requested method.
# Request example curl -X POST https://sandbox.oxylabs.io/ -H 'Accept: */*;q=0.8' -H 'Accept-Encoding: br' -H 'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0'

Check nginx error logs for specific messages that indicate what might have caused the termination.
Verify nginx configuration files for any incorrect settings or conflicts that could cause the server to terminate connections.
Increase timeout values in nginx settings to prevent premature termination of connections when dealing with slow responses.
Ensure that all backend services connected to nginx are running correctly and are properly configured to handle requests.
