Description
docs:
Default: default_type text/plain;
nginx.conf: default_type application/octet-stream;
- IMO the stock conf file shouldn't deviate from the default.
- I think the default is wrong, if nginx doesn't know the type it shouldn't send the type.

Thank you for your suggestion. You can use default_type applicatin/octet-stream; in your configuration if you think it is better thing to use, and this is what actually example configuration as shipped with nginx does right after defining common types:
http {
include mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;
While application/octet-stream might be a safer option, using text/plain by default is also a quite reasonable choice, given that to make application/octet-stream usable in practice you have to define common types anyway. I don't think we have to change the default.
As for the keepalive_timeout, the default is 75s, and this is what most installations would normally use unless there are good reasons to use other values.

and this is what most installations would normally use
Then why does the 'example' nginx.conf contain these lines?
#keepalive_timeout 0;
keepalive_timeout 65;

Because one of the goals of the example configuration is to show how to tune various important parameters.

It is. And one of the goals of any stock conf is to show how to tune various important parameters.

This isn't actually true right, if most installations are using the stock nginx.conf?

The example value as in the stock nginx.conf is practically the same.
Same for keepalive_timeout.
