Nginx connection reset, response from uWsgi lost

Pass --post-buffering 1 to uwsgi

This will automatically buffer all the http body > 1 byte

The problem is raised by the way nginx manages upstream disconnections

I hit the same issue, but on my case I can't disable "uwsgi_pass_request_body" as most times (but not always) my app do need the POST data.

This is the workaround I found, while this issue is not fixed in uwsgi: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.wsgi.uwsgi.general/813

import django.core.handlers.wsgi
class ForcePostHandler(django.core.handlers.wsgi.WSGIHandler):
    """Workaround for: http://lists.unbit.it/pipermail/uwsgi/2011-February/001395.html
    """
    def get_response(self, request):
        request.POST # force reading of POST data
        return super(ForcePostHandler, self).get_response(request)

application = ForcePostHandler()
