What Hacker News says
3 sourcesThere is a problem with this change: https://github.com/certsimple/nginx-http2-load-balancing-con...
proxy_set_header in html5-sse.conf will discard all other proxy_set_header included in proxy.conf a level above: "These directives are inherited from the previous level if and only if there are no proxy_set_header directives defined on the current level", http://nginx.org/r/proxy_set_header
In An nginx.conf for 2017: HTTP/2, IPV6, HTML5 SSE, load balancing and more.1/ The article doesn't claim to support one million concurrent users. Top level directives are Ubuntu/RHEL defaults, but if you have a preferred scalability config please file an issue!
2a/ buffering is well known to break SSE. As the article notes, if you're not using SSE you should disable that include.
2b/ I thought the config parser would have caught this but didn't. Filed https://github.com/certsimple/nginx-http2-load-balancing-con... and fixed.
3/ If you think your own DNS server is going to be better maintained than Google's, sure. But not everyone else would.
