Nginx config file overwritten during Elastic Beanstalk deployment?

Question

I need to add p3p headers to the static resource location on a standard Nodejs & Nginx Elastic Beanstalk.

As of this writing, the proper way to update/add values into the http config in the nginx.conf file without overwriting it is to add a .config file to the .ebextensions folder that looks like this:

files:
  "/etc/nginx/conf.d/custom_nginx.conf":
    content: |

      proxy_connect_timeout       600;
      proxy_send_timeout          600;
      proxy_read_timeout          600;
      send_timeout                600;

This creates a new file called custom_nginx.conf in the /etc/nginx/conf.d directory. Since the nginx.conf file contains

http {
  include       /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;
}

when the server is started it will pull the 4 timeout vars from custom_nginx.conf into the http section of nginx.conf
