Thanks for the example.

I see the confusion.

https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_proxy_module.html is for proxy_*
directives with the http section.

This example is within the stream section, so you'll be wanting the docs
at https://nginx.org/en/docs/stream/ngx_stream_proxy_module.html

I think that there is not something like the http proxy_buffering
available within the stream module, so it is effectively always off in
that case.
