Hello,

I have seen the module “Nginx limit proxy”  
([http://nginxlimitproxy.sourceforge.net/](http://nginxlimitproxy.sourceforge.net/))

It’s a valid module? works fine?

Thanks.

Regards

looking at it quick I see two things that interest me right off the bat:

1. I’ve been wanting a way to capture how many bytes (and requests) by  
Host: header (right now I have a special access\_log that logs this and  
I have to process this huge file nightly and sum the byte column up  
based on host header…) - it would be cool if this was possibly done  
inside of nginx and then flushed out to disk somewhere (I understand  
memory usage would go up a little)

2. the distributed nature of it. it manages settings (so it says) from  
one server. a “cluster manager” is something else I’ve had on my  
“nginx wishlist” too.

whether or not this module does it properly, in the proper nginx  
non-blocking method, etc… it has some useful concepts from what it  
looks like that sound worth checking out.

Hello,

I have the same need.

I have installed the module limit proxy with the last version of  
Nginx, and seems doesn’t work well.

The project activity seems to be very low…
