Syntax: proxy_temp_file_write_size size; Default: proxy_temp_file_write_size 8k|16k; Context: http, server, location Limits the size of data written to a temporary file at a time, when buffering of responses from the proxied server to temporary files is enabled. By default, size is limited by two buffers set by the proxy_buffer_size and proxy_buffers directives. The maximum size of a temporary file is set by the proxy_max_temp_file_size directive.

Syntax: uwsgi_ssl_name name; Default: uwsgi_ssl_name host from uwsgi_pass; Context: http, server, location This directive appeared in version 1.7.0. Allows overriding the server name used to verify the certificate of the secured uwsgi server and to be passed through SNI when establishing a connection with the secured uwsgi server. By default, the host part from uwsgi_pass is used.

Syntax: proxy_ignore_client_abort on | off; Default: proxy_ignore_client_abort off; Context: http, server, location Determines whether the connection with a proxied server should be closed when a client closes the connection without waiting for a response.

Syntax: auth_http_timeout time; Default: auth_http_timeout 60s; Context: mail, server Sets the timeout for communication with the authentication server.

Syntax: hls_forward_args on | off; Default: hls_forward_args off; Context: http, server, location This directive appeared in version 1.5.12. Adds arguments from a playlist request to URIs of fragments. This may be useful for performing client authorization at the moment of requesting a fragment, or when protecting an HLS stream with the ngx_http_secure_link_module module. For example, if a client requests a playlist http://example.com/hls/test.mp4.m3u8?a=1&b=2, the arguments

Syntax: timer_resolution interval; Default: — Context: main Reduces timer resolution in worker processes, thus reducing the number of gettimeofday() system calls made. By default, gettimeofday() is called each time a kernel event is received. With reduced resolution, gettimeofday() is only called once per specified interval. Example: timer_resolution 100ms; Internal implementation of the interval depends on the method used: the EVFILT_TIMER filter if kqueue is used; timer

Syntax: deny address | CIDR | unix: | all; Default: — Context: http, server, location, limit_except Denies access for the specified network or address. If the special value unix: is specified (1.5.1), denies access for all UNIX-domain sockets.

Syntax: location [ = | ~ | ~* | ^~ ] uri { ... }location @name { ... } Default: — Context: server, location Sets configuration depending on a request URI. The matching is performed against a normalized URI, after decoding the text encoded in the “%XX” form, resolving references to relative path components “.” and “..”, and possible compression of two or more adjacent slashes into a single slash. A location can either be defined by a prefix string, or by a re

Syntax: include file | mask; Default: — Context: any Includes another file, or files matching the specified mask, into configuration. Included files should consist of syntactically correct directives and blocks. Usage example: include mime.types; include vhosts/*.conf;

Syntax: charset_types mime-type ...; Default: charset_types text/html text/xml text/plain text/vnd.wap.wml application/javascript application/rss+xml; Context: http, server, location This directive appeared in version 0.7.9. Enables module processing in responses with the specified MIME types in addition to “text/html”. The special value “*” matches any MIME type (0.8.29). Until version 1.5.4, “application/x-javascript” was used as the default MIME type instead of “application/j
