Hi, List!

Has anyone successfully used httpfs2 with nginx?  
I’m getting Input/Output error when trying to mount file system over  
HTTP from nginx server.  
The requirements for httpfs2: “The server must be able to send byte  
ranges”. Does nginx have support for this?  
The mounting over HTTP works with Apache and lighttpd but slow.

Thank you!
