hi, i trying to make to make downloader site, the process was like this: 1. user enter the site 2. paste their link 3. and the wget or downloader program would download the files every night 4. the file saved using the primary key of the database value (number), this one example of the table row: reqid: 273 userid: 5 reqlink: [http://127.0.0.1/bla.pdf](http://127.0.0.1/bla.pdf) reqtime: 2009-12-03 07:22:01 the file saved on /data/dl/273.data how can i protect the download link so people wont able to download directly but must use some link, such as: [http://bla/get/273](http://bla/get/273) but this link only activated when people has logged in… what i mean is, can i make temporary link that can only be accessed certain IP and session (of the logged user), one request only, without messing around and reload nginx’s configuration everytime authenticated people wan’t to download the file, and without load file into server side scripting engine (PHP, etc) because it’s slow when i use server side engine to serve the file… Thanks for care to read this mail… Regards, Kiswono GB ---

X-Accel-Redirectthe is the key, i also use this feature, works like a charm. The server side script only send the header fast, secure and easy to setup… ---

You could try X-Accel-Redirect header, > **[GitHub - nginxinc/nginx-wiki: ARCHIVED -- Source for the now archived NGINX Wiki...](https://github.com/nginxinc/nginx-wiki)** > > ARCHIVED -- Source for the now archived NGINX Wiki section of https://www.nginx.com So your script just have to emit the header. File delivery will be handled by nginx. – Arie Karhendana ---
