How to throw a 502 to nginx?

I have a nginx/nodejs stack.

My nginx is configured to serve a static 502 error page when my nodejs process is down.

Now, i want to have my nodejs to run normally, and occasionally throws a 502 to nginx, to trigger the static 502 page on some user requests. How do i do that?

I tried to throw some errors in my node process without catching them, but it results in the error stack being passed directly to the client browser.

Add this to your proxy config: 

 proxy_intercept_errors on;

As per the manual:

Determines whether proxied responses with codes greater than or equal to 300 should be passed to a client or be redirected to nginx for processing with the error_page directive. Default off
