Oh, sorry. I had misunderstood what you were reporting.
I now think that the confusion comes from what "the default value"
for proxy_busy_buffers_size is.
The documentation has one set of words, which is correct once you know
how it is intended to be interpreted.
If we can find a set of words that is both correct and clear, we can
probably get the documentation changed to help the next person.
I think that the key is: if not explicitly defined, the value for
proxy_busy_buffers_size is "the bigger of: twice proxy_buffer_size;
and the size of two proxy_buffers".
By default-default, that is the 8k or 16k that the documentation summary
shows.
But when you set a big proxy_buffer_size value, you are implicitly
increasing proxy_busy_buffers_size as well.
And then the other requirement kicks in -- proxy_busy_buffers_size must
be not bigger than "proxy_buffers number-minus-one times size".
Also, if you want to explicitly set proxy_busy_buffers_size, you cannot
make it be smaller than a single proxy_buffers, or than proxy_buffer_size.
So with all default values on a 4k page system, proxy_buffers is "8
4k" (32k total, and 28k is the maximum for proxy_busy_buffers_size);
proxy_buffer_size is 4k; and proxy_busy_buffers_size is 8k.
If you want to set proxy_buffer_size to more than 14k, you must either
also increase proxy_buffers (in number or size); or explicitly set
proxy_busy_buffers_size to 28k or lower (while not being smaller than
proxy_buffer_size).
Hopefully this does not make things more confusing...
Cheers,
