In application I want to increase connection timeout as there is functionality to upload huge files. Currently I found the next properties:
proxy_connect_timeout 20;
proxy_send_timeout 20;
proxy_read_timeout 20;But the thing is that I looking to not allow so long connection through all endpoint but only for particular one.
Is there some way to configure Nginx "connection timeout" for particular request pattern?
Yes! One of the nice things about nginx is that you can set values in a hierarchy depending on locations, paths, parameters, source IP addresses ... basically on any metadata.
server {
listen 443 ssl http2;
....
# default timeouts here
proxy_connect_timeout <smallval>;
proxy_send_timeout <smallval>;
proxy_read_timeout <smallval>;
location /biguploadshere {
proxy_connect_timeout <bigval>;
proxy_send_timeout <bigval>;
proxy_read_timeout <bigval>;
}
}
