* If you can access the frontend's configuration, disable `proxy_buffering <http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_proxy_module.html#proxy_buffering>`_ or increase `proxy_max_temp_file_size <http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_proxy_module.html#proxy_max_temp_file_size>`_ from the default 1GB.
* If you do not have access to the frontend, set the `X-Accel-Buffering <http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_proxy_module.html#proxy_buffering>`_ header to ``add_header X-Accel-Buffering no;`` on your backend server.
