We just finished our conversion of all of our rest endpoints from
Unfiltered to Akka Http. In doing so, we noticed a strange error when we
have our nginx (version 1.6) proxy sitting in front of Akka Http. If the
response is a bit large, over say 30K, nginx fails with the following error:
upstream prematurely closed connection while reading upstream
The only way we could find to fix this was to explicitly chunk responses
that were larger than a specified size. I used a piece of code like this
to handle the chunking.
def chunkResponses(chunkThreshold:Int) = mapResponseEntity{
case h @ HttpEntity.Strict(ct, data) if data.size > chunkThreshold =>
val chunks =
Source.
single(data).
mapConcat(_.grouped(chunkThreshold).toList).
map(HttpEntity.Chunk.apply(_))
HttpEntity.Chunked(ct, chunks)
case other => other
}
All of the responses we had been producing were always HttpEntity.Strict as
we always had all of the json that we were going to respond with in memory
already. I did not see any need to chunk. I want to better understand why
this is happening. Has anyone else run into this? I couldn't find much
info out there on this. The closest thing I found was someone else seeing
this a while back with their own http server impl:
