What happens if the proxied server sends a response greater than the
total buffer sizes, say 50k?
It depends whether or not you have proxy_buffering enabled.
With proxy_buffering nginx tries to receive an entire response as
quickly as possible. Even uses temporary file if response can't fit
into proxy_buffers.
Does nginx frees buffers sending data,
and then buffers another chunk from the proxied server, iterate until
done?
And that's how nginx does it with disabled proxy_buffering.
