[Seaside] Re: Nginx Reverse Proxying

[Esteban A. Maringolo]

Thanks people. I managed to get something working helped by
http://www.monkeysnatchbanana.com/posts/2010/06/23/reverse-proxying-to-seaside-with-nginx.html

But looking at the upstream module it seems like a good feature to
handle failover servers.

I don't understand the @myApp syntax. What is the @ for?

Also, looking at Davorin example I see a lot of "tweaks" for Proxy
module, many of which must respond to particular tunings I guess, but
there are a few that

What is this for?
proxy_redirect          off;

I guess this could be useful to get extra datta at the server side:
            proxy_set_header        host $host;
            proxy_set_header        x-real-ip $remote_addr;
            proxy_set_header        x-forwarded-for $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
            proxy_set_header        x-forwarded-host $host;
            proxy_set_header        x-forwarded-port $server_port;

This must have to do to prevent Seaside/Zinc from getting excessively
big requests.
            client_max_body_size    10m;
            client_body_buffer_size 128k;

This I can understand :)
            proxy_connect_timeout   90;
            proxy_send_timeout      90;
            proxy_read_timeout      90;


But then you se proxy_redirect again!
            proxy_redirect  default;


Regards!
