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.
