How to disable the keepalive timeout for nginx?

To disable the keepalive timeout for Nginx, you need to follow these steps:

  1. Open the Nginx configuration file, which is typically located at /etc/nginx/nginx.conf or /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf. You can use any text editor to open it.
  2. Locate the HTTP block in the configuration file, which is typically found in the form of http { … }.
  3. Add the following command in the HTTP block to set the keepalive timeout to 0 seconds:
keepalive_timeout 0;
  1. Save and close the configuration file.
  2. Reload the Nginx configuration. You can use the following command to reload the configuration file:

Currently, Nginx’s keepalive timeout has been set to 0 seconds, which means the connection will close immediately.
