Forum: NGINX read_timeout directive

Hi, I've a few servers with nginx 1.2.3 that run a streaming services
platform.

Is there in nginx any "read_timeout" directive (like the send_timeout 
but
for the opposite) that shuts down the connection if the client has not 
send
any data for x time?

I'm looking for something also in beta stage, modules, plugin, patch...

Many thanks for your help

There are two timeouts related to reading data from a client,
client_header_timeout and client_body_timeout.

See here for details:

http://nginx.org/r/client_header_timeout
http://nginx.org/r/client_body_timeout
