Add "https://" in front of an IPv4/IPv6 address if the external web server uses HTTPS. Port is optional for IPv4/IPv6 addresses if the external web server uses the standard ports 80 or 443.</p> <h4>Example</h4><div class="ls-example">192.168.0.10<br/> 127.0.0.1:5434<br/> https://10.0.8.9<br/> https://127.0.0.1:5438<br/> UDS://tmp/lshttpd/php.sock<br/> unix:/tmp/lshttpd/php.sock</div><h4>Tips</h4><p><span title="Security" class="ls-icon-security"></span> If you proxy to another web server running on the same machine using an IPv4/IPv6 address, set the IP address to <span class="val">localhost</span> or <span class="val">127.0.0.1</span>, so the external application is inaccessible from other machines.<br/> <span title="Performance" class="ls-icon-performance"></span> Unix Domain Sockets generally provide higher performance than IPv4 or IPv6 sockets.</p> </article> </div> <div class="helpitem"><article class="ls-helpitem"><div><header id="maxConns"><h3>Max Connections<span class="ls-permlink"><a href="#maxConns"></a></span><span class="top"><a href="#top">⇑</a></span></h3></header></div><h4>Description</h4><p>Specifies the maximum number of concurrent connections that can be established between the server and an external application. This setting controls how many requests can be processed concurrently by an external application, however, the real limit also depends on the external application itself. Setting this value higher will not help if the external application is not fast enough or cannot scale to a large number of concurrent requests.</p> <h4>Syntax</h4><p>Integer number</p> <h4>Tips</h4><p><span title="Performance" class="ls-icon-performance"></span> Setting a high value does not directly translate to higher performance. Setting the limit to a value that will not overload the external application will provide the best performance/throughput.</p> </article> </div> <div class="helpitem"><article class="ls-helpitem"><div><header id="pcKeepAliveTimeout"><h3>Connection Keepalive Timeout<span class="ls-permlink"><a href="#pcKeepAliveTimeout"></a></span><span class="top"><a href="#top">⇑</a></span></h3></header></div><h4>Description</h4><p>Specifies the maximum time in seconds to keep an idle persistent connection open.<br/><br/> When set to "-1", the connection will never timeout.

If the server does not receive any data from the external application within this timeout limit, it will mark this connection as bad. This helps to identify communication problems with external applications as quickly as possible. If some requests take longer to process, increase this limit to avoid 503 error messages.</p> <h4>Syntax</h4><p>Integer number</p> </article> </div> <div class="helpitem"><article class="ls-helpitem"><div><header id="retryTimeout"><h3>Retry Timeout (secs)<span class="ls-permlink"><a href="#retryTimeout"></a></span><span class="top"><a href="#top">⇑</a></span></h3></header></div><h4>Description</h4><p>Specifies the period of time that the server waits before retrying an external application that had a prior communication problem.</p> <h4>Syntax</h4><p>Integer number</p> </article> </div> <div class="helpitem"><article class="ls-helpitem"><div><header id="respBuffer"><h3>Response Buffering<span class="ls-permlink"><a href="#respBuffer"></a></span><span class="top"><a href="#top">⇑</a></span></h3></header></div><h4>Description</h4><p>Specifies whether to buffer responses received from external applications.
