Hi,

We are using nginx to proxy to 4 back end servers. And we terminate SSL at nginx. We use nginx in a somewhat special way in that we make 1 HTTP GET and the back-end servers give a very very long (essentially never-ending) response.

trouble is that i notice that the nginx worker processes keep using up more and more memory. When the connections to nginx terminate, everything seems to be cleaned up and the memory usage of the worker processes drops to normal.
