If ‘keepalive\_timeout 0’ is set at the http context level, does nginx honor ‘keepalive\_timeout N’ at the server and/or listen level?

There is no listen context as such, but there is default server for listen address:port pair. As to the question - yes, you can change keepalive\_timeout at server or location level. – Igor S. > **[F5 NGINX: Built for cloud-native apps.
