Turning buffering on disables streaming.

Setting chunked_transfer_encoding to invalid values.

To stream responses with chunked transfer, set proxy_buffering off; and chunked_transfer_encoding on;.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create a minimal nginx config snippet for streaming chunked responses.

Nginx

location /stream {
    proxy_pass http://backend;
    proxy_buffering [1];
    chunked_transfer_encoding [2];
    proxy_http_version [3];
}

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using HTTP/1.0 which does not support chunked transfer.

Leaving proxy_buffering on which buffers data.

Setting chunked_transfer_encoding off disables chunked transfer.

This config disables buffering (off), enables chunked transfer (on), and sets HTTP version to 1.1 for chunked support.
