upstream sent no valid HTTP/1.0 header while reading response header from upstream,

[sanflores]

I'm using tomcat as a backend (using websocket), and is hostead on AWS
behind a balancer. After a some time (acording to timeouts) I'm starting to
get the error that the upstream sent no valid HTTP/1.0, but what is strange,
is that I'm only using HTTP/1.1, this is my configuration:

    }
}

There is nothing in conf.d/*.conf


I do have a lot of Writing, but I'm guessing that's because of the
websocket.

If I set the timeout on the balancer and proxy_read_timeout on 4.000 seconds
(the max available), I'm able to live without errors for an hour until I
need to restart the tomcat server. We haven't make any configuration change
for the last year but I'm guessing I'm hitting some limit, but I can't find
what is it
