Some headers are not set correctly on your instance

Nextcloud version (eg, 29.0.5): 29.0.3
Operating system and version (eg, Ubuntu 24.04): Ubuntu 22.04
Apache or nginx version (eg, Apache 2.4.25): Nginx 1.27.0
PHP version (eg, 8.3): 8.2

Since my update to Nextcloud 29, I get these messages in the UI.

Some headers are not set correctly on your instance - The `X-Robots-Tag` HTTP header is not set to `noindex,nofollow`. This is a potential security or privacy risk, as it is recommended to adjust this setting accordingly. - The `X-Frame-Options` HTTP header is not set to `sameorigin`. Some features might not work correctly, as it is recommended to adjust this setting accordingly. - The `X-Permitted-Cross-Domain-Policies` HTTP header is not set to `none`. This is a potential security or privacy risk, as it is recommended to adjust this setting accordingly. - The `X-XSS-Protection` HTTP header does not contain `1; mode=block`. This is a potential security or privacy risk, as it is recommended to adjust this setting accordingly. - The `Referrer-Policy` HTTP header is not set to `no-referrer`, `no-referrer-when-downgrade`, `strict-origin`, `strict-origin-when-cross-origin` or `same-origin`.

I used curl to display the headers. I executed the command remotely as well as locally on the Nextcloud server.

I have no idea what else I can do to prevent the test from showing any more errors. Are there any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

In case you run some sso application this problem might be related: HTTP Headers Warning
302 redirect makes me think you do…

Thank you for your hint. SSO is activated in my installation.

If I edit the file /var/www/nextcloud/core/routes.php and add a line at position 41, the check doesn’t fail anymore.

38 /** @var $this OCP\Route\IRouter */
39 // Core ajax actions
40 // Routing
41 $this->create('heartbeat', '/heartbeat');
42
43 $this->create('core_ajax_update', '/core/ajax/update.php')
44   ->actionInclude('core/ajax/update.php');
