💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Selecting B ('300') sets 300 seconds instead of 30 seconds.

Using 'sec' instead of 's' is invalid.

The correct syntax for proxy_read_timeout requires a time value, such as '30s' for 30 seconds.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Selecting C ('10000') sets 10000 seconds instead of 10 seconds.

Using milliseconds without proper format is invalid.

The proxy_connect_timeout directive expects a time value, so '10s' means 10 seconds.

Fix the error in the proxy timeout setting below by completing the code.

Nginx

proxy_send_timeout [1];

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

A60

B60sec

C60s

D60000

Attempts:

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'sec' instead of 's' causes nginx to reject the config.

Selecting D ('60000') sets 60000 seconds instead of 60 seconds.

The correct format for proxy_send_timeout is a time value with 's' for seconds, so '60s' is valid.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to set proxy timeouts: connect timeout to 15 seconds and read timeout to 45 seconds.

Nginx

proxy_connect_timeout [1];
proxy_read_timeout [2];

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

A15s

B45s

C15

D45

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using numbers without 's' unit.

Mixing units like 'sec' instead of 's'.

Both proxy_connect_timeout and proxy_read_timeout require time values, so '15s' and '45s' are correct.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to set proxy timeouts: send timeout 20 seconds, connect timeout 10 seconds, and read timeout 40 seconds.

Nginx

proxy_send_timeout [1];
proxy_connect_timeout [2];
proxy_read_timeout [3];

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

A20s

B10s

C40s

D20

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using numbers without 's' unit.

Using 'sec' instead of 's'.

All proxy timeout directives require time values. '20s', '10s', and '40s' correctly specify seconds.
