</span>The documentation already says<br>
(<a href="http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_limit_conn_module.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://nginx.org/en/docs/<wbr>http/ngx_http_limit_conn_<wbr>module.html</a>):<br>
<br>
: Not all connections are counted. A connection is counted only if<br>
: it has a request processed by the server and the whole request<br>
: header has already been read.<br>
<br>
in an attempt to clarify things. This is more or less identical<br>
to what I wrote. The difference is recommendations on how to<br>
better trigger the limit, but I doubt such recommendations should<br>
be in the documentation.<br>
