Description

When clients send a request with a request header of "Connection: keep-alive" after/during a config refresh they get a TCP close instead of a response from the service nginx is forwarding to.

It seems that the worker decides it doesn't have any more work to do as soon as it sends it's most recent response back. Once it has no more work to do it closes the connection that is supposed to be "kept-alive".

I would think the nginx worker process should stay up as long as the keep_alive timeout has not been reached. This causes java clients to get an "end of file" while reading the response and results in a request error that potentially can not be retried (eg a POST).

Commenting here in hopes that TracTickets will notify me of updates on this issue.

Nevermind: found the "Watch This" link in the top right.
