Yes, it's possible, and works fine on all versions I know.  Test 
config:

    location / {
        keepalive_timeout 5;
        return 204;
    }
    location /short {
        keepalive_timeout 1;
        return 204;
    }

Simple test which shows it actually works as expected:

$ time telnet 127.0.0.1 8080
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.

If it doesn't work for you - you probably did something wrong.
