Yes, but that's not a trivial task when using vanilla nginx. For
example you can do this using the embedded perl module,
$r->sleep() command:


location / {
perl 'sub {
my $r = shift;
$r->discard_request_body;

sub next {
my $r = shift;
$r->status(204);
$r->send_http_header;
}

$r->sleep(1000, \&next);
}';
}

See http://nginx.org/r/perl for more details.

This can be also done using 3rd party modules. E.g., using the
delay module as available from http://mdounin.ru/hg/ngx_http_delay_module/,
this can be done as follows:

location / {
delay 2s;
error_page 403 = /empty;
deny all;
}

location = /empty {
return 204;
}
