# By default, nginx will close upstream connections after every request.
# The upstream-keepalive module tries to remedy this by keeping a certain minimum number of
# persistent connections open at all times to upstreams. These connections are re-used for
# all requests, regardless of downstream connection source. There are options available
# for load balacing clients to the same upstreams more consistently.
# This is all designed around the reverse proxy case, which is nginxs main purpose.

Zotero in Word/LibreOffice

It seems essential to use a 32-bit Java version and not 64-bit Java version for the LibreOffice integration of Zotero. However, it is possible to install several Java version on the same machine and to choose in LibreOffice one version to use (Tools-->Options-->Advanced):

Choose Java version in LibreOffice

Windows

On Windows 10 with LibreOffice 5 the autoinstaller does not work. Thus, one has to manually install
