Hello,

I noticed the documentation page about compiling nginx  
[http://nginx.org/en/docs/configure.html](http://nginx.org/en/docs/configure.html) is not up-to-date, making it  
impossible to have a clear view about which modules are included by  
default  
(ie with no --with-\* or --without-\* options at configure time).

One such example is the limit\_req module  
[http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx\_http\_limit\_req\_module.html](http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_limit_req_module.html) which  
seems  
to be included by default, although it is not clear: not mentioned in  
the  
module’s docs page nor on the compiling instructions one.  
I only saw one mention of a wpecific option to remove that module on the  
Wiki’s modules list [http://wiki.nginx.org/Modules](http://wiki.nginx.org/Modules), which would mean  
the  
module is integrated by default.

## ​Where could you find an exhaustive official list of such configure-time options?​ ​Thanks,​

_B. R._
