http_uwsgi module#

Allows passing requests to a uwsgi server.

Example Configuration#

location / {
    include    uwsgi_params;
    uwsgi_pass localhost:9000;
}

Directives#

uwsgi_bind#

Syntax:

uwsgi_bind address [transparent] | off;

Default:

Context:

http, server, location

Makes outgoing connections to a uwsgi server originate from the specified local IP address with an optional port. Parameter value can contain variables. The special value off cancels the effect of the uwsgi_bind directive inherited from the previous configuration level, which allows the system to auto-assign the local IP address and port.

The transparent parameter allows outgoing connections to a uwsgi server originate from a non-local IP address, for example, from a real IP address of a client:

uwsgi_bind $remote_addr transparent;

In order for this parameter to work, it is usually necessary to run Angie worker processes with the superuser privileges. On Linux it is not required as if the transparent parameter is specified, worker processes inherit the CAP_NET_RAW capability from the master process.

Important

It is necessary to configure kernel routing table to intercept network traffic from the uwsgi server.

uwsgi_buffer_size#

Syntax:

uwsgi_buffer_size size;

Default:

uwsgi_buffer_size 4k|8k;

Context:

http, server, location

Sets the size of the buffer used for reading the first part of the response received from the uwsgi server. This part usually contains a small response header. By default, the buffer size is equal to one memory page. This is either 4K or 8K, depending on a platform. It can be made smaller, however.

uwsgi_buffering#

Syntax:

uwsgi_buffering size;

Default:

uwsgi_buffering on;

Context:

http, server, location

Enables or disables buffering of responses from the uwsgi server.

on

Angie receives a response from the uwsgi server as soon as possible, saving it into the buffers set by the uwsgi_buffer_size and uwsgi_buffers directives. If the whole response does not fit into memory, a part of it can be saved to a temporary file on the disk. Writing to temporary files is controlled by the uwsgi_max_temp_file_size and uwsgi_temp_file_write_size directives.

off

he response is passed to a client synchronously, immediately as it is received. Angie will not try to read the whole response from the uwsgi server. The maximum size of the data that Angie can receive from the server at a time is set by the uwsgi_buffer_size directive.

Buffering can also be enabled or disabled by passing “yes” or “no” in the “X-Accel-Buffering” response header field. This capability can be disabled using the uwsgi_ignore_headers directive.

uwsgi_buffers#

Syntax:

uwsgi_buffers number size;

Default:

uwsgi_buffers 8 4k|8k;

Context:

http, server, location

Sets the number and size of the buffers used for reading a response from the uwsgi server, for a single connection.
By default, the buffer size is equal to one memory page. This is either 4K or 8K, depending on a platform.

uwsgi_busy_buffers_size#

Syntax:

uwsgi_busy_buffers_size size;

Default:

uwsgi_buffers 8k|16k;

Context:

http, server, location

When buffering of responses from the uwsgi server is enabled, limits the total size of buffers that can be busy sending a response to the client while the response is not yet fully read. In the meantime, the rest of the buffers can be used for reading the response and, if needed, buffering part of the response to a temporary file.
By default, size is limited by the size of two buffers set by the uwsgi_buffer_size and uwsgi_buffers directives.

uwsgi_cache#

Syntax:

uwsgi_cache zone | off;

Default:

uwsgi_cache off;

Context:

http, server, location

Defines a shared memory zone used for caching. The same zone can be used in several places. Parameter value can contain variables.

off

disables caching inherited from the previous configuration level.

uwsgi_cache_background_update#

Syntax:

uwsgi_cache_background_update on | off;

Default:

uwsgi_cache_background_update off;

Context:

http, server, location

Allows starting a background subrequest to update an expired cache item, while a stale cached response is returned to the client.

Attention

Note that it is necessary to allow the usage of a stale cached response when it is being updated.

uwsgi_cache_bypass#

Syntax:

uwsgi_cache_bypass …;

Default:

Context:

http, server, location

Defines conditions under which the response will not be taken from a cache. If at least one value of the string parameters is not empty and is not equal to “0” then the response will not be taken from the cache:

uwsgi_cache_bypass $cookie_nocache $arg_nocache$arg_comment;
uwsgi_cache_bypass $http_pragma    $http_authorization;

Can be used along with the uwsgi_no_cache directive.

uwsgi_cache_key#

Syntax:

uwsgi_cache_key string;

Default:

Context:

http, server, location

Defines a key for caching, for example

uwsgi_cache_key localhost:9000$request_uri;

uwsgi_cache_lock#

Syntax:

uwsgi_cache_lock on | off;

Default:

uwsgi_cache_lock off;

Context:

http, server, location

When enabled, only one request at a time will be allowed to populate a new cache element identified according to the uwsgi_cache_key directive by passing a request to a uwsgi server. Other requests of the same cache element will either wait for a response to appear in the cache or the cache lock for this element to be released, up to the time set by the uwsgi_cache_lock_timeout directive.

uwsgi_cache_lock_age#

Syntax:

uwsgi_cache_lock_age time;

Default:

uwsgi_cache_lock_age 5s;

Context:

http, server, location

If the last request passed to the uwsgi server for populating a new cache element has not completed for the specified time, one more request may be passed to the uwsgi server.

uwsgi_cache_lock_timeout#

Syntax:

uwsgi_cache_lock_timeout time;

Default:

uwsgi_cache_lock_timeout 5s;

Context:

http, server, location

Sets a timeout for uwsgi_cache_lock. When the time expires, the request will be passed to the uwsgi server, however, the response will not be cached.

uwsgi_cache_max_range_offset#

Syntax:

uwsgi_cache_max_range_offset number;

Default:

Context:

http, server, location

Sets an offset in bytes for byte-range requests. If the range is beyond the offset, the range request will be passed to the uwsgi server and the response will not be cached.

uwsgi_cache_methods#

Syntax:

uwsgi_cache_methods GET | HEAD | POST …;

Default:

uwsgi_cache_methods GET HEAD;

Context:

http, server, location

If the client request method is listed in this directive then the response will be cached. “GET” and “HEAD” methods are always added to the list, though it is recommended to specify them explicitly. See also the uwsgi_no_cache directive.

uwsgi_cache_min_uses#

Syntax:

uwsgi_cache_min_uses number;

Default:

uwsgi_cache_min_uses 1;

Context:

http, server, location

Sets the number of requests after which the response will be cached.

uwsgi_cache_path#

Syntax:

uwsgi_cache_path path [levels=levels] [use_temp_path=on|off] keys_zone=name:size [inactive=time] [max_size=size] [min_free=size] [manager_files=number] [manager_sleep=time] [manager_threshold=time] [loader_files=number] [loader_sleep=time] [loader_threshold=time];

Default:

Context:

http

Sets the path and other parameters of a cache. Cache data are stored in files. The file name in a cache is a result of applying the MD5 function to the cache key.

The levels parameter defines hierarchy levels of a cache: from 1 to 3, each level accepts values 1 or 2. For example, in the following configuration:

uwsgi_cache_path /data/angie/cache levels=1:2 keys_zone=one:10m;

file names in a cache will look like this:

/data/angie/cache/c/29/b7f54b2df7773722d382f4809d65029c

A cached response is first written to a temporary file, and then the file is renamed. Temporary files and the cache can be put on different file systems. However, be aware that in this case a file is copied across two file systems instead of the cheap renaming operation. It is thus recommended that for any given location both cache and a directory holding temporary files are put on the same file system.

The directory for temporary files is set based on the use_temp_path parameter.

on

If this parameter is omitted or set to the value on, the directory set by the uwsgi_temp_path directive for the given location will be used.

off

Temporary files will be put directly in the cache directory.

In addition, all active keys and information about data are stored in a shared memory zone, whose name and size are configured by the keys_zone parameter. One megabyte zone can store about 8 thousand keys.

Cached data that are not accessed during the time specified by the inactive parameter get removed from the cache regardless of their freshness.
By default, inactive is set to 10 minutes.

The special cache manager process monitors the maximum cache size and the minimum amount of free space on the file system with cache and when the size is exceeded or there is not enough free space, it removes the least recently used data. The data is removed in iterations.

max_size

maximum uwsgi_cache size

min_free

minimum amount of free space on the file system with cache

manager_files

limits the number of items to be deleted during one iteration
by default 100

manager_threshold

limits the duration of one iteration
by default, 200 milliseconds

manager_sleep

configures a pause between interactions
by default, 50 milliseconds

A minute after the Angie starts the special cache loader process is activated. It loads information about previously cached data stored on file system into a cache zone. The loading is also done in iterations.

loader_files

limits the number of items to load during one iteration
by default, 100

loader_threshold

limits the duration of one iteration
by default, 200 milliseconds

loader_sleep

configures a pause between interactions
by default, 50 milliseconds

uwsgi_cache_revalidate#

Syntax:

uwsgi_cache_revalidate on | off;

Default:

uwsgi_cache_revalidate off;

Context:

http, server, location

Enables revalidation of expired cache items using conditional requests with the “If-Modified-Since” and “If-None-Match” header fields.

uwsgi_cache_use_stale#

Syntax:

uwsgi_cache_use_stale error | timeout | invalid_header | updating | http_500 | http_503 | http_403 | http_404 | http_429 | off …;

Default:

uwsgi_cache_use_stale off;

Context:

http, server, location

Determines in which cases a stale cached response can be used during communication with the uwsgi server. The directive’s parameters match the parameters of the uwsgi_next_upstream directive.

error

permits using a stale cached response if a uwsgi server to process a request cannot be selected.

updating

additional parameter, permits using a stale cached response if it is currently being updated. This allows minimizing the number of accesses to uwsgi servers when updating cached data.

Using a stale cached response can also be enabled directly in the response header for a specified number of seconds after the response became stale:

  • The stale-while-revalidate extension of the “Cache-Control” header field permits using a stale cached response if it is currently being updated.

  • The stale-if-error extension of the “Cache-Control” header field permits using a stale cached response in case of an error.

Note

This has lower priority than using the directive parameters.

To minimize the number of accesses to uwsgi servers when populating a new cache element, the uwsgi_cache_lock directive can be used.

uwsgi_cache_valid#

Syntax:

uwsgi_cache_valid [code …] time;

Default:

Context:

http, server, location

Sets caching time for different response codes. For example, the following directives

uwsgi_cache_valid 200 302 10m;
uwsgi_cache_valid 404      1m;

set 10 minutes of caching for responses with codes 200 and 302 and 1 minute for responses with code 404.

If only caching time is specified

uwsgi_cache_valid 5m;

then only 200, 301, and 302 responses are cached.

In addition, the any parameter can be specified to cache any responses:

uwsgi_cache_valid 200 302 10m;
uwsgi_cache_valid 301      1h;
uwsgi_cache_valid any      1m;

Note

Parameters of caching can also be set directly in the response header. This has higher priority than setting of caching time using the directive

  • The “X-Accel-Expires” header field sets caching time of a response in seconds. The zero value disables caching for a response. If the value starts with the @ prefix, it sets an absolute time in seconds since Epoch, up to which the response may be cached.

  • If the header does not include the “X-Accel-Expires” field, parameters of caching may be set in the header fields “Expires” or “Cache-Control”.

  • If the header includes the “Set-Cookie” field, such a response will not be cached.

  • If the header includes the “Vary” field with the special value “*”, such a response will not be cached. If the header includes the “Vary” field with another value, such a response will be cached taking into account the corresponding request header fields.

Processing of one or more of these response header fields can be disabled using the uwsgi_ignore_headers directive.

uwsgi_connect_timeout#

Syntax:

uwsgi_connect_timeout time;

Default:

uwsgi_connect_timeout 60s;

Context:

http, server, location

Defines a timeout for establishing a connection with a uwsgi server. It should be noted that this timeout cannot usually exceed 75 seconds.

uwsgi_force_ranges#

Syntax:

uwsgi_force_ranges off;

Default:

uwsgi_force_ranges off;

Context:

http, server, location

Enables byte-range support for both cached and uncached responses from the uwsgi server regardless of the “Accept-Ranges” field in these responses.

uwsgi_hide_header#

Syntax:

uwsgi_hide_header field;

Default:

Context:

http, server, location

By default, Angie does not pass the header fields “Status” and “X-Accel-…” from the response of a uwsgi server to a client. The uwsgi_hide_header directive sets additional fields that will not be passed. If, on the contrary, the passing of fields needs to be permitted, the uwsgi_pass_header directive can be used.

uwsgi_ignore_client_abort#

Syntax:

uwsgi_ignore_client_abort on | off;

Default:

uwsgi_ignore_client_abort off;

Context:

http, server, location

Determines whether the connection with a uwsgi server should be closed when a client closes the connection without waiting for a response.

uwsgi_ignore_headers#

Syntax:

uwsgi_ignore_headers field …;

Default:

Context:

http, server, location

Disables processing of certain response header fields from the uwsgi server. The following fields can be ignored: “X-Accel-Redirect”, “X-Accel-Expires”, “X-Accel-Limit-Rate”, “X-Accel-Buffering”, “X-Accel-Charset”, “Expires”, “Cache-Control”, “Set-Cookie”, and “Vary”.

If not disabled, processing of these header fields has the following effect:

  • “X-Accel-Expires”, “Expires”, “Cache-Control”, “Set-Cookie” and “Vary” set the parameters of response caching;

  • “X-Accel-Redirect” performs an internal redirect to the specified URI;

  • “X-Accel-Limit-Rate” sets the rate limit for transmission of a response to a client;

  • “X-Accel-Buffering” enables or disables buffering of a response;

  • “X-Accel-Charset” sets the desired charset of a response.

uwsgi_intercept_errors#

Syntax:

uwsgi_intercept_errors on | off;

Default:

uwsgi_intercept_errors off;

Context:

http, server, location

Determines whether uwsgi server responses with codes greater than or equal to 300 should be passed to a client or be intercepted and redirected to Angie for processing with the error_page directive.

uwsgi_limit_rate#

Syntax:

uwsgi_limit_rate rate;

Default:

uwsgi_limit_rate 0;

Context:

http, server, location

Limits the speed of reading the response from the uwsgi server. The rate is specified in bytes per second.

0

disables rate limiting

Note

The limit is set per a request, and so if Angie simultaneously opens two connections to the uwsgi server, the overall rate will be twice as much as the specified limit. The limitation works only if buffering of responses from the uwsgi server is enabled.

uwsgi_max_temp_file_size#

Syntax:

uwsgi_max_temp_file_size size;

Default:

uwsgi_max_temp_file_size 1024m;

Context:

http, server, location

When buffering of responses from the uwsgi server is enabled, and the whole response does not fit into the buffers set by the uwsgi_buffer_size and uwsgi_buffers directives, a part of the response can be saved to a temporary file. This directive sets the maximum size of the temporary file. The size of data written to the temporary file at a time is set by the uwsgi_temp_file_write_size directive.

0

disables buffering of responses to temporary files

Note

This restriction does not apply to responses that will be cached or stored on disk.

uwsgi_modifier1#

Syntax:

uwsgi_modifier1 size;

Default:

uwsgi_modifier1 0;

Context:

http, server, location

Sets the value of the modifier1 field in the uwsgi packet header.

uwsgi_modifier2#

Syntax:

uwsgi_modifier2 size;

Default:

uwsgi_modifier2 0;

Context:

http, server, location

Sets the value of the modifier2 field in the uwsgi packet header.

uwsgi_next_upstream#

Syntax:

uwsgi_next_upstream error | timeout | invalid_header | http_500 | http_503 | http_403 | http_404 | http_429 | non_idempotent | off …;

Default:

uwsgi_next_upstream error timeout;

Context:

http, server, location

Specifies in which cases a request should be passed to the next server in the upstream pool:

error

an error occurred while establishing a connection with the server, passing a request to it, or reading the response header;

timeout

a timeout has occurred while establishing a connection with the server, passing a request to it, or reading the response header;

invalid_header

a server returned an empty or invalid response;

http_500

a server returned a response with the code 500;

http_503

a server returned a response with the code 503;

http_403

a server returned a response with the code 403;

http_404

a server returned a response with the code 404;

http_429

a server returned a response with the code 429;

non_idempotent

normally, requests with a non-idempotent method (POST, LOCK, PATCH) are not passed to the next server if a request has been sent to an upstream server; enabling this option explicitly allows retrying such requests;

off

disables passing a request to the next server.

Note

One should bear in mind that passing a request to the next server is only possible if nothing has been sent to a client yet. That is, if an error or timeout occurs in the middle of the transferring of a response, fixing this is impossible.

The directive also defines what is considered an unsuccessful attempt of communication with a server.

error
timeout
invalid_header

always considered unsuccessful attempts, even if they are not specified in the directive

http_500
http_503
http_429

considered unsuccessful attempts only if they are specified in the directive

http_403
http_404

never considered unsuccessful attempts

Passing a request to the next server can be limited by the number of tries and by time.

uwsgi_next_upstream_timeout#

Syntax:

uwsgi_next_upstream_timeout time;

Default:

uwsgi_next_upstream_timeout 0;

Context:

http, server, location

Limits the time during which a request can be passed to the next server.

0

turns off this limitation

uwsgi_next_upstream_tries#

Syntax:

uwsgi_next_upstream_tries number;

Default:

uwsgi_next_upstream_tries 0;

Context:

http, server, location

Limits the number of possible tries for passing a request to the next server.

0

turns off this limitation

uwsgi_no_cache#

Syntax:

uwsgi_no_cache string …;

Default:

Context:

http, server, location

Defines conditions under which the response will not be saved to a cache. If at least one value of the string parameters is not empty and is not equal to “0” then the response will not be saved:

uwsgi_no_cache $cookie_nocache $arg_nocache$arg_comment;
uwsgi_no_cache $http_pragma    $http_authorization;

Can be used along with the uwsgi_cache_bypass directive.

uwsgi_param#

Syntax:

uwsgi_param parameter value [if_not_empty];

Default:

Context:

http, server, location

Sets a parameter that should be passed to the uwsgi server. The value can contain text, variables, and their combination. These directives are inherited from the previous configuration level if and only if there are no uwsgi_param directives defined on the current level.

Standard CGI environment variables should be provided as uwsgi headers, see the uwsgi_params file provided in the distribution:

location / {
    include uwsgi_params;
#    ...
}

If the directive is specified with if_not_empty then such a parameter will be passed to the server only if its value is not empty:

uwsgi_param HTTPS $https if_not_empty;

uwsgi_pass#

Syntax:

uwsgi_pass [protocol://] address;

Default:

Context:

location, if in location

Sets the protocol and address of a uwsgi server and an optional URI to which a location should be mapped. As a protocol, uwsgi or suwsgi (secured uwsgi, uwsgi over SSL) can be specified. The address can be specified as a domain name or IP address, and a port:

uwsgi_pass localhost:9000;
uwsgi_pass uwsgi://localhost:9000;
uwsgi_pass suwsgi://[2001:db8::1]:9090;

or as a UNIX domain socket path:

uwsgi_pass unix:/tmp/uwsgi.socket;

If a domain name resolves to several addresses, all of them will be used in a round-robin fashion. In addition, an address can be specified as a server group.

Parameter value can contain variables. In this case, if an address is specified as a domain name, the name is searched among the described server groups, and, if not found, is determined using a resolver.

uwsgi_pass_header#

Syntax:

uwsgi_pass_header field …;

uwsgi_read_timeout#

Syntax:

uwsgi_read_timeout time;

Default:

uwsgi_read_timeout 60s;

Context:

http, server, location

Defines a timeout for reading a response from the uwsgi server. The timeout is set only between two successive read operations, not for the transmission of the whole response. If the uwsgi server does not transmit anything within this time, the connection is closed.

uwsgi_request_buffering#

Syntax:

uwsgi_request_buffering on | off;

Default:

uwsgi_request_buffering on;

Context:

http, server, location

Enables or disables buffering of a client request body.

on

the entire request body is read from the client before sending the request to a uwsgi server.

off

the request body is sent to the uwsgi server immediately as it is received. In this case, the request cannot be passed to the next server if Angie already started sending the request body.

When HTTP/1.1 chunked transfer encoding is used to send the original request body, the request body will be buffered regardless of the directive value.

uwsgi_send_timeout#

Syntax:

uwsgi_send_timeout time;

Default:

uwsgi_send_timeout 60s;

Context:

http, server, location

Sets a timeout for transmitting a request to the uwsgi server. The timeout is set only between two successive write operations, not for the transmission of the whole request. If the uwsgi server does not receive anything within this time, the connection is closed.

uwsgi_socket_keepalive#

Syntax:

uwsgi_socket_keepalive on | off;

Default:

Context:

http, server, location

Sets arbitrary OpenSSL configuration commands when establishing a connection with the secured uwsgi server.

Important

The directive is supported when using OpenSSL 1.0.2 or higher.

Several uwsgi_ssl_conf_command directives can be specified on the same level. These directives are inherited from the previous configuration level if and only if there are no uwsgi_ssl_conf_command directives defined on the current level.

Caution

Note that configuring OpenSSL directly might result in unexpected behavior.

uwsgi_ssl_crl#

Syntax:

uwsgi_ssl_crl file;

Default:

Context:

http, server, location

Specifies a file with revoked certificates (CRL) in the PEM format used to verify the certificate of the secured uwsgi server.

on

saves files with paths corresponding to the directives alias or root

off

disables saving of files

The file name can be set explicitly using the string with variables:

uwsgi_store /data/www$original_uri;

The modification time of files is set according to the received “Last-Modified” response header field. The response is first written to a temporary file, and then the file is renamed. Temporary files and the persistent store can be put on different file systems. However, be aware that in this case a file is copied across two file systems instead of the cheap renaming operation. It is thus recommended that for any given location both saved files and a directory holding temporary files, set by the uwsgi_temp_path directive, are put on the same file system.

This directive can be used to create local copies of static unchangeable files, e.g.:

location /images/ {
    root               /data/www;
    error_page         404 = /fetch$uri;
}

location /fetch/ {
    internal;

    uwsgi_pass         backend:9000;
    ...

    uwsgi_store        on;
    uwsgi_store_access user:rw group:rw all:r;
    uwsgi_temp_path    /data/temp;

    alias              /data/www/;
}

uwsgi_store_access#

Syntax:

uwsgi_store_access users:permissions …;

Default:

uwsgi_store_access user:rw;

Context:

http, server, location

Sets access permissions for newly created files and directories, e.g.:

uwsgi_store_access user:rw group:rw all:r;

If any group or all access permissions are specified then user permissions may be omitted:

uwsgi_store_access group:rw all:r;

uwsgi_temp_file_write_size#

Syntax:

uwsgi_temp_file_write_size size;

Default:

uwsgi_temp_file_write_size 8k|16k;

Context:

http, server, location

Limits the size of data written to a temporary file at a time, when buffering of responses from the uwsgi server to temporary files is enabled. By default, size is limited by two buffers set by the uwsgi_buffer_size and uwsgi_buffers directives. The maximum size of a temporary file is set by the uwsgi_max_temp_file_size directive.

uwsgi_temp_path#

Syntax:

uwsgi_temp_path path [level1 [level2 [level3]]]`;

Default:

uwsgi_temp_path uwsgi_temp;

Context:

http, server, location

Defines a directory for storing temporary files with data received from uwsgi servers. Up to three-level subdirectory hierarchy can be used underneath the specified directory. For example, in the following configuration

uwsgi_temp_path /spool/angie/uwsgi_temp 1 2;

a temporary file might look like this:

/spool/angie/uwsgi_temp/7/45/00000123457

See also the use_temp_path parameter of the uwsgi_cache_path directive.
