Syntax: proxy_send_lowat size; Default: proxy_send_lowat 0; Context: http, server, location If the directive is set to a non-zero value, nginx will try to minimize the number of send operations on outgoing connections to a proxied server by using either NOTE_LOWAT flag of the kqueue method, or the SO_SNDLOWAT socket option, with the specified size.

Syntax: proxy_read_timeout time; Default: proxy_read_timeout 60s; Context: http, server, location Defines a timeout for reading a response from the proxied server.

Syntax: proxy_pass_request_headers on | off; Default: proxy_pass_request_headers on; Context: http, server, location Indicates whether the header fields of the original request are passed to the proxied server. location /x-accel-redirect-here/ { proxy_method GET; proxy_pass_request_headers off; proxy_pass_request_body off; proxy_pass ... } See also the proxy_set_header and proxy_pass_request_body directives.

Syntax: proxy_pass_request_body on | off; Default: proxy_pass_request_body on; Context: http, server, location Indicates whether the original request body is passed to the proxied server. location /x-accel-redirect-here/ { proxy_method GET; proxy_pass_request_body off; proxy_set_header Content-Length ""; proxy_pass ... } See also the proxy_set_header and proxy_pass_request_headers directives.
