In testing here, I "proxy_pass" to the upstream, and "proxy_buffering off"
causes the http response body to be sent to the client as it is generated.

Nothing is sent to the client until after the http response headers
are complete.

(The test upstream is a simple HTTP/1.0 server running a shell-cgi
script where I can put "sleep 3" in between "echo output" lines, so I
know exactly when things are sent by the upstream.)

Does the simple test above work for you?

How is nginx configured to connect to your web servers? How do your web
servers respond?

Good luck with it,
