How to use scgi_ignore_client_abort in NGINX
Hello friends! Today we want to talk about one of the important parameters in NGINX known as scgi_ignore_client_abort. This parameter allows us to determine whether NGINX should terminate requests from clients in case of connection interruptions. This issue can enhance server performance by utilizing resources more efficiently.
You might ask why this parameter is so important; imagine that a client is connected to your website and due to some reason, the connection gets interrupted. In this case, if we want to stop the request, it might lead to resource wastage on the server side. In fact, scgi_ignore_client_abort can help us free up these resources and enable the server to continue processing other requests.
To enable this setting, we need to go to the appropriate section of the server block in NGINX. This configuration is quite flexible and can be managed under specific circumstances. Well, without further ado, let’s look at some real examples.
Example Code
http {
server {
listen 80;
location /my-scgi {
scgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
scgi_ignore_client_abort on;
}
}
}Code Description
http {: Start of the HTTP block.server {: Start of the server block.listen 80;: The server listens on port 80.location /my-scgi {: Here we define a specific path called /my-scgi.scgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;: This line forwards the request to the SCGI server at address 127.0.0.1 and port 9000.scgi_ignore_client_abort on;: In this line, we specify that NGINX should continue processing the request even if the client disconnects.}: End of the location directive.}: End of the server block.}: End of the HTTP block.
I hope these explanations have been helpful and that you can easily use this capability in NGINX!
