Hi, i am working on nginx reverse proxy for upload gateway to speed up things worldwide. Infrastructure schema looks like this:
Main upload server - EU Upload proxy servers in Asia, Australia, North America etc Upload proxy servers will be connected to main upload servers via Long Fat Network VPN - 10Gbps, but large RTT (located on different continents) Client will be sending 10GB+ files splitted to multiple 10MB POST requests with data. Local nginx proxy server should read (buffer) this request as soon as possible and immediately reply with HTTP 200, even before it will finish proxying the request to upstream. We can reply HTTP 200 before transmitted to upstream because we do not care about data consistency here, as client will verify checksum with master upload server after last piece and then resend missing pieces if anything goes wrong. We are optimizing for speed only here. My question is - is it possible with nginx that proxy server will reply to client with HTTP 200 before request is fully transmitted to upstream?
