Yes, 120 seconds. After that it considers the cgi script to be dead and cleans up the connection to nginx. However it does not kill the cgi script. I talked to some people when I implemented that and we decided it would be best to not kill the cgi script as it probably cannot handle that. I.e. leaving half written files behind or some other crap. So it comes down to fixing the cgi script to not get into an infinit loop ;) > -- > S?bastien Marie > -- I'm not entirely sure you are real.
