POST to static URL and CLOSE_WAIT

[Jan Andersson]

Hi,
we are using the following in our configuration to handle HTTP POST to static files:

 ...
 # Allow POST to static URLs
 error_page 405 = $uri;
 ...

This works, but during load, we start to see a lot of connections in CLOSE_WAIT state,
until we finally run out of connections.

Any idea why we see this and what can be done to avoid this?

We are running nginx/0.7.65 on Ubuntu 10.04:
