Common Stanzas

This module contains functions and variables that provide a variety of commonly used nginx config boilerplate.

nginx.config.common._gzip_options()

These are some decent default settings for gzip compression

nginx.config.common._large_buffers()

These are some larger than default buffer settings.

Use at your own risk!

nginx.config.common._statsd_options_location()

These are some good defaults to supply to Nginx when using the statsd plugin.

https://github.com/zebrafishlabs/nginx-statsd

NB! it requires you to include a “statsd_server” directive in your http section. This set of common directives should go in any Location block.

A set of useful defaults for using nginx’s response cache with uWSGI

This block of options belongs in your HTTP section.
