Hello
I am new to nginx. I will be taking the nginx training next week. In the meantime I was wondering if i was implementing the following properly.
I have an nginx instance that is sitting between my server and a client.
The client requires that I close the connection when I respond to it.
The server requires that I keep the connection alive for performance reason.
Between the server and nginx, I have set up the keepalive option.
Example:
upstream a-name {
server XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:12360;
keepalive 1024;
}
Between the client and the nginx, I have set keepalive_requests to 1;
Example:
server {
listen 12360;
access_log /var/log/nginx/access-a-name-12360.log;
keepalive_requests 1;

location /auctions {
limit_req zone=one burst=2100;
limit_req_status 503;
limit_conn_status 503;
proxy_pass http://a-name;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Connection "";
}

location / {
return 403;
}

error_page 503 = /empty;
location /empty {
return 204;
}
}
Am I doing the right thing?
Or can I have nginx add "Connection: close\r\n" to the header when it sends the response back to the client.
Thank you for your help
