            proxy_pass   http://localhost:88;

    No, well you can, but it would be pointless.

    NGINX doesn't support keep-alive to backend servers.

    It is an HTTP/1.0 proxy without the ability for keep-alive requests yet. (As a result, backend connections are created and destroyed on every request.) Nginx talks HTTP/1.1 to the browser and HTTP/1.0 to the backend server. As such it handles keep-alive to the browser.

    (NGINX Wiki)

    If you're going to enable keep-alive do it in NGINX to the client, enabling it on the Tomcat side won't do anything if NGINX is sitting in front
