Re: Nginx prematurely closing connections when reloaded

Hi Igor,

I did not have error_log directive at main context, so it took default
conf, which seems why i got only 1 log file. I added directive and now I
have more logs when I do nginx -s reload:
2024/03/29 09:04:20 [notice] 1064394#0: signal process started

.... etc ...

Could the pb I encounter be linked to that discussion?
https://mailman.nginx.org/pipermail/nginx-devel/2024-January/YSJATQMPXDIBETCDS46OTKUZNOJK6Q22.html
Seems a race condition between a client that have started to send a new
request at the same time that the server has decided to close the idle
connection. Is there a plan to add a bugfix in nginx to handle that
properly?

Thanks,

Sébastien
