Hi,
As in the subject, I have WebDAV access on apache behind nginx-proxy-manager. The issue is when big files are sent to WebDAV server (let's say >50MB). It seems like nginx is buffering the whole file, and only then the file is sent to target. In the meantime there is no response to the client. The result is that proxy works only when I increase timeout to huge value.
I've read that this is typical for nginx when works as standalone webdav server: the file is written to temp buffer and then renamed, so in this case they suggest to have temp buffer and target dir on the same media. Is proxy working the same way?
In my case apache behind nginx is working with remote media, so the delay is really big.
I added "proxy_buffering off" to advanced, but it rather works in opposite direction, right?
So, any tweaks I can apply?
Regards, Jacek
