Hi!

I'm trying to proxy a location to a backend COMET server. The COMET server holds
long connections, and as such, I need nginx to proxy the connection
indefinitely.

However, I always get a "504 Gateway Time-Out" after about a minute. Does anyone
know why? Help would be greatly appreciated.

Here's my site conf:

upstream comet { server 127.0.0.1:8000; }

location /comet_long_polling { # passes the request to node.js proxy_pass http://comet; break;

}

Here's my proxy.conf:

proxy_redirect off; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; client_max_body_size 10m; client_body_buffer_size 128k; proxy_connect_timeout 6000; proxy_send_timeout 6000; proxy_read_timeout 6000; proxy_buffer_size 4k; proxy_buffers 4 32k; proxy_busy_buffers_size 64k; proxy_temp_file_write_size 64k; send_timeout 6000; proxy_buffering off;

Thanks, Chris
