Proxy module without waiting for a reply

[danfiala at centrum.cz]

Unfortunately I still cannot find out how to send data to upstream and force nginx to not wait for reply. Is really upstream suitable for my purpose?

Regards,
Daniel

>But when I send data through upstream then Nginx waits until it can read some data from the upstream server, finally it times out. But I would need to finish the upstream request just after data are written without any waiting for the reply from upstream server. Is there any way how to force it to work this way?
