Everything seems to work fine, except for the file upload. For some reason file upload never completes. With the configuration listed below, I am able to upload small files (4K). Upload fails on a 194K file. When I increase "client_body_buffer_size" to 256K, I can upload the 194K file, but a 500K file upload fails. Increasing "client_body_buffer_size" beyond 256K has no impact.<br>
<br>
**Note: When I access Tomcat directly and upload the 500K file, it finishes in a few milliseconds.**<br>
<br>
So, looks like something is wrong with Nginx configuration. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.<br>

I have tried adding several other parameters to nginx config (client_body_temp_path, proxy_temp_path, proxy_temp_file_write_size). They didn't seem to help.<br>

<br>***** <span></span>Further investigation revealed that we have problem uploading 196K file and upwards. 194K file works. "client_body_buffer_size" value is set to 256K.<br>

<br>
I notice "http upstream send request handler" in above log snippet, where as in success case, I see this:<br>
2013/07/30 16:29:44 [debug] 14208#0: *1 http upstream dummy handler<br>
<br>
<br>
Any idea what "http upstream send request handler" and "http upstream dummy handler" mean, and what they signify?<br>
