I have
proxy_temp_file_write_size 128k
set to 128k, which I thought would buffer up to 128k of data in memory
before writing it to disk.
You should configure proxy_buffer_size / proxy_buffers large enough instead.
Directive proxy_temp_file_write_size basically tells nginx how
many data it can flush to disk at once when writing temporary
file. It may be used to prevent nginx worker process from blocking
for too long in io path.
