I have nginx (1.10.3-1+deb9u2) on Debian 9.6. I have installed php7.1-fpm from external repository (sury.org). I have simple php file executing phpinfo() function (and nothing more), simply to see if everything works. Now for the funny part. I have it on embedded device with "normal" ethernet interface - if I connect from my PC using this interface I got expected results. But when I connect via USB, so that there is RNDIS-like (or RNDIS, I'm not sure) network interface created, things do not work as expected, that is if I connect using Firefox, I see a dialog asking me where I want to save file - which is exactly the file that should be executed by nginx + fpm combo. But when I connect using Chrome, I get expected result, so standard phpinfo()-generated page.
I believe that configuration is absolutely standard Nginx stuff. Does anyone has any idea how could that happen? If behavior were different depending on the interface that I connect on, it would be pretty obvious information that for some reason Nginx refuses to execute my request using php module. But it depends on the browser that I use and this is bewildering to be honest.
I checked how connections are made in both Fireox and Chrome using developer tools and it seems that they are basically identical, in addition there are no redirections, so that's not it. I haven't tried wget/curl yet and I can't do it now, but no matter what the result will be this is still inacceptable.
Any ideas? No matter how wild they are?
EDIT (configuration):
I've been able to confirm nginx configuration. It is as follows:

I thought that maybe there are two server blocks, but as you can see there is only one. What is strange is that when I connect using Firefox and nginx (?) serves file instead of executing it, there is nothing in /var/log/nginx/access.log.
serverblocks does your configuration have? Where is the PHP file located - is it the same as the default Nginx root?serverblock block. And nginx listens on 0.0.0.0:80 (or its equivalent). I thought for a moment that difference might be between IPv4 and IPv6, but I explicitly use IPv4 in the browser (http://192.168.7.2/info.phpto be precise.)nginx -T(uppercaseT). My guess is that there is a default server block which will download files form the default document root.nginx -Tbut there is only oneserverblock. And please note, that with identical configuration and identical URL I get different results on Chrome and Firefox. Firefox tries to download file, Chrome displays expected result.
