Description

​http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_proxy_module.html#proxy_next_upstream is unclear whether the request will be repeated in the case of a failure to the same upstream.

I want to repeat requests (currently having only one upstream). Please make it possible to repeat requests to the same upstream (or at least correct docs).

The directive description says "to the next server", and it believed to clear enough: the same server doesn't clarify. If you want nginx to repeat the request to the same server again, you can do so by either defining additional ​server with the same address in the upstream block, or by configuring retries using ​error_page instead.
