I have a problem with nginx and websockets proxy.

Here is the message I receive:

[error] 20999#0: \*1997296 send() failed (32: Broken pipe) while proxying  
upgraded connection, client: 10.0.25.47, server: [example.com](http://example.com), request:  
“GET  
/xmpp/ HTTP/1.1”, upstream: “[http://192.168.122.8:5280/xmpp/](http://192.168.122.8:5280/xmpp/)”, host:  
“[example.com](http://example.com)”

Here is my config:

```
    location /xmpp {
            proxy_pass http://192.168.122.8:5280;
            proxy_http_version 1.1;
            proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
            proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
    }

```

When ejabberd has big history log, nginx returns error message.
