Hi
I have a few questions about how do I configure it.

First question:

How do I strip the "Set-Cookie" header from all static files like css and jpg? I know i can setup a reverse proxy and use "proxy_hide_header Set-Cookie", but seems like foolish to make yet another host, just to reverse to your self and add a few hundred msec to the request.

Second question:

I'm trying to make an alias to hide a folder in the lookup to the subfolder, the structure is:
/var/www/domain.tld/media/ads
/var/www/domain.tld/media/galleries
/var/www/domain.tld/media/misc
/var/www/domain.tld/media/thumbs

making the url like this /media/thumbs/5 subfolders/image-file

how do i change that into /thumbs/5 subfolders/image-file

I have tried with both alias and root but both returns a 404


Third question:
[error] 9178#9178: *13452 upstream timed out (110: Connection timed out) while reading response header from upstream, client: upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/var/run/php-fpm.sock", host:

have a lot of those, any suggestions?

## Nginx’s Open file cache https://easyengine.io/tutorials/nginx/open-file-cache/
open_file_cache max=5000 inactive=5m; ##If you have way too many files, change max from 5000 to more appropriate value.
open_file_cache_valid 20m; ## Tell nginx to check if information it is holding is valid every n minutes.
open_file_cache_min_uses 1; ## If files don’t change much often, or accesses less frequently, you can change inactive duration from 20m to something else.
## Inactive andopen_file_cache_min_uses works together.
## This sample tells nginx to cache a file information as long as minimum 2 requests are made during 5m window.
open_file_cache_errors on; ## Tell nginx to cache errors like 404 (file not found). If you are using nginx as load-balancer, leave this off.
