💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'disable' or 'true' which are not valid values.

Forgetting to add a semicolon at the end.

Setting proxy_buffering to on enables buffering of responses from the proxied server.

Complete the code to set the proxy buffer size to 8k.

Nginx

proxy_buffer_size [1];

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using sizes smaller or larger than requested.

Omitting the unit 'k'.

The proxy_buffer_size directive sets the size of the buffer used for reading the first part of the response from the proxied server. Here, 8k is the correct size.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Missing semicolon causes nginx configuration errors.

Using invalid values like 'disable' or 'false'.

The directive must end with a semicolon. So proxy_buffering off; is correct to disable proxy buffering.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to set proxy buffers to 4 buffers of 16k each.

Nginx

proxy_buffers [1] [2];

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Swapping the order of number and size.

Using invalid sizes without units.

The proxy_buffers directive takes two values: the number of buffers and the size of each buffer. Here, 4 buffers of 16k each is correct.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to set proxy max temp file size to 128m, disable buffering, and set buffer size to 32k.

Nginx

proxy_max_temp_file_size [1];
proxy_buffering [2];
proxy_buffer_size [3];

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A128m

Boff

C32k

D64m

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Mixing up the order of directives.

Using invalid values or missing semicolons.

proxy_max_temp_file_size sets the max size of temporary files. proxy_buffering off; disables buffering. proxy_buffer_size 32k; sets the buffer size.
