Hi,

We are considering using Nginx as a web server (mainly for uploading  
files). We’d like to use it on Windows - unfortunately Linux is not an  
option for us. I’ve been searching the Internet and this forum for quite  
much time to check if Nginx is stable on Windows, and how can I add  
custom modules to it, but to no avail (most pieces of information are  
outdated).

So my questions are:

- Is the current binary for Windows stable for production? (Version  
0.8.49) I’ve already read this thread:  
[Re: Is windows version stable?](http://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,2133,2151) but it is quite old.
- If it is stable, how can I add my own modules to it? I read in Evan  
Miller’s document that Nginx must be re-compiled for this (with the  
modules added to it), but the source code for Windows is not available.

Thank You very much in advance,  
Robert

I can’t answer your question with regards to stability - but I would  
expect the source for all platforms to be in the same package.
