Hello,

We are currently serving files using X-Accel-Redirect. Previously, we  
used lighttpd and we parsed the server-status page to retrieve IPs  
along with the request and GET query:

192.168.10.11 0/0 157998/150305212 write 7 host  
/get.php?reference=xxxx

(We need to store the reference and the IP and track them as long as  
it’s still writing to the connection)

Is there a similar way to do such thing in nginx? Modules and other  
solutions with the same result are welcome.

Thank you for your time!

-Adrián

Does anyone know anything relating to the original message?

Please.

Thank you,
