How to configure nginx for transferring large data

To transmit large data, you can configure nginx using the following methods:

1. Adjusting the buffer size of nginx: You can increase the buffer size of nginx by adjusting client_body_buffer_size and client_max_body_size. The client_body_buffer_size is used to set the buffer size for request bodies, while client_max_body_size is used to set the maximum size for request bodies.
2. Example setup:
3. Limit the size of the client’s body buffer to 10 megabytes and the maximum client body size to 100 megabytes.
4. By using the proxy_buffering directive, you can disable nginx’s buffering mechanism by setting proxy_buffering to off if you are using nginx as a reverse proxy server. This will allow nginx to immediately transfer the received data to the backend server without waiting for the buffer to fill up.
5. Example configuration:
6. The location block directs requests to the backend server without buffering.
7. By using the proxy_request_buffering directive, you can control whether nginx should buffer the request body. Setting it to off allows you to disable request body buffering in nginx.
8. Example configuration:
9. In the location block, direct requests to the backend without buffering.

Please note that these settings may need to be adjusted according to your specific circumstances. Additionally, ensure that your server and network can handle large data transfers to avoid performance issues.
