Enabling HTTP Response Streaming

​

Problem

An Aptible user is attempting to stream HTTP responses from the server but notices that they are being buffered.

​

Cause

By default, Aptible buffers requests at the proxy layer to protect against attacks that exploit slow uploads such as [Slowloris](/docs/(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slowloris_(computer_security)).

​

Resolution

Aptible users can set the X-Accel-Buffering header to no to disable proxy buffering for these types of requests.
