Hi everybody, I’m new to nginx. Recently I use comet in my project. I choose tomcat for the java server. and enable the Http11NioProtocol connector. client send a ajax request,and the server side suspend it, and set a timeout(5 seconds),when timeout reach,the tomcat end the response in tomat server.xml when I test with tomcat directly, means [http://localhost:8080/xxxxx](http://localhost:8080/xxxxx), it works as what I expect, but when I use nginx to proxy, when the timeout reach,the tomcat server end the response,but the request still there, nginx wait for its own “request timeout”(I don’t what to call it). in nginx.conf,I set the follow proxy-relative config proxy\_buffering off; proxy\_redirect off; proxy\_set\_header Host $host; proxy\_set\_header X-Real-IP $remote\_addr; proxy\_set\_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy\_add\_x\_forwarded\_for; is there something i missed ? Any suggestion will be appreciate… thanks ---

Can you tie Tomcat to Apache and use Nginx as a front end proxy? Would that be easier to manage since Tomcat is built for Apache? On Wed, Jun 3, 2009 at 10:12 AM, Claude B.
