Hi all:

The directive “proxy\_next\_upstream error timeout” takes effect on three  
network actions: connection, send and recieve. In practice ,we realy  
want  
to try next upstream according to in which actions we are. For example,  
I  
do not want to try next upstream if some error occurs or timed out when  
recieving response from upstream, otherwise it maybe duplicate my  
request .

The proxy\_next\_upstream\_action is involved to address this problem , the  
directive takes one or more parameter : conn, send, recv which indicates  
whether we should try next upstream.

Usage:  
proxy\_next\_upstream error timeout;  
proxy\_next\_upstream\_action conn;  
Try next upstream if error or timed out on connection.

Anyone suggests ?
