When viewing the  
[documentation  
for client\_body\_in\_file\_only](http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxHttpCoreModule#client_body_in_file_only), it shows the only possible values as  
on/off.

My confusion occurs when viewing the PHP-FPM  
[suggested  
usage of client\_body\_in\_file\_only](http://php-fpm.org/wiki/Features#Accelerated_upload_support), as it shows the directive with  
a value of clean.

This makes me wonder if there is possibly an undocumented feature of  
Nginx client\_body\_in\_file\_only, to clean/remove the resulting file at  
some point?

Or is PHP-FPM’s documentation just incorrect?

Thanks!

Wiki is just incomplete. The “clean” parameter was introduced in  
0.5.9 (see CHANGES), see Russian docs for description:

Thanks, that’s what I was hoping 🙂

I’ll try to get the wiki updated.

There hasn’t been a whole lot of reason to change anything since fpm is  
in core now and 5.2.x hasn’t introduced anything new forever 🙂
