If no response is received within this time, the connection will be closed. For instructions on how to set up the timeout, check out our dedicated guide.
30s
proxy_connect_timeout The time limit for establishing a connection with a proxied server. For instructions on how to set up the timeout, check out our dedicated guide. 5s
proxy_send_timeout The time limit for sending a request to a proxied server.
If no response is received within this time, the connection will be closed.

client_header_timeout The time limit for a proxy server to read a client request header.
If the entire header is not received within this time, the client will receive a 408 (request timeout) error.
10s
client_body_timeout The time limit for a proxy server to read a client request body.
If no data is sent within this time, the client will receive a 408 (Request Time-out) error.
