Http request timeout at 2 minutes in NGINX 502 bad gateway in Node app
<p>I’m been scratching my head on this timeout issue and hope to get some helps. I have a http request that might take 2.5 minutes to return the response. I have timeout handling in Angular for 3 minutes, and NodeJS for 3 minutes as well. My nginx setting have 200 seconds timeout and my Elastic Load Balancing Connection Timeout is set to 4 minutes. However, I keep seeing the 502 bad gateway nginx 1.4.6 (Ubuntu) error at exact 2 minutes. Is there any part that I miss to have longer timeout?  </p>

<p>My nginx setting:</p>

<pre><code>server {
    listen 80;
    server_name;
    access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;
    error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log debug;
    location / {
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
        proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;
        proxy_set_header Connection "";
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_pass http://localhost:8060;
        proxy_redirect off;
        proxy_connect_timeout 200s;
        proxy_send_timeout 200s;
        proxy_read_timeout 200s;
        send_timeout 200s;
    }
    #Handle protected assets using 'internal' directive documented here: https://www.nginx.com/resources/wiki/start/topics/examples/x-accel/
    location /protected {
        internal;
        expires -1;
    }
}
</code></pre>

<p>My NodeJS setting is using connect-timeout</p>

<pre><code>var timeout = require('connect-timeout');
app.use(timeout(300000));
</code></pre>
