Hi there,

I have found that nginx buffers php output and do not send them to  
clients untill the php execution get complete.  
I want to turn off ’ fastcgi\_buffers ’ in my nginx.  
What should I do ?  
This fastcgi\_buffers cause that nginx get incompatible with some php  
scripts such as :

- Net2FTP [http://net2ftp.com](http://net2ftp.com)
- RapidLeech [http://rapidleech.googlecode.com](http://rapidleech.googlecode.com)  
Currently I have runned net2ftp with nginx but the unzip section of  
net2ftp broke with nginx fastcgi\_buffer.  
I have set the fastcgi\_buffer to 1kb but still broke in unzipping files.

Thanks
