nginx for Windows - WSASend() socket error 10057

There are several possibilities to introduce a latency in nginx: 

- limit_req -
https://www.nginx.com/blog/rate-limiting-nginx/#Two-Stage-Rate-Limiting
[14] 

- Maxim's ngx_http_delay (I used it more for development purposes, like
test or simulation of load etc); 

- some "slow" upstream backend that doing nothing, just waiting
(preferably asynchronous). 

You seems to have some upstream (php?) serving auth_http requests, so
you could for example implement some delay in case of failed attempt
within php (or whatever you use there as backend).
Note that it is always good if the latency will be implemented
asynchronously (without a real "sleep") in order to avoid possible
overload under DDoS similar circumstances. 

Regards,
Sergey.
