Nginx upload progress module v0.6

Server NGINX
1

Hi,

I’m proud to announce the availability of the version 0.6 of the
nginx_upload_progress_module. This version fixes one high traffic bug
and is a recommended upgrade.

This version seems now stable to be used in production.

The release is available in the nginx wiki page or directly from my git
hub repository:
http://github.com/masterzen/nginx-upload-progress-module/downloads

Changes since v0.5:

  • fixed crash when cleaning uploads (thanks to Vladimir Getmanshchuk for
    his bug report).

More Information:

This module implements a progress upload ala Lighttpd mod_uploadprogress
for nginx. It monitors RFC1867 uploads sent to upstream servers and can
serve special JSON response containing information about the upload
progress on request.

This module doesn’t implement a RFC1867 parser and client code. As such
I consider this module as a temporary hack until Igor S. implements
a full client body filter chain into Nginx.

This module is delivered as is (no guarantee of any kind) under the BSD
license with the following caveats and warnings:

  • when compiled with --with-debug, this module will produce high
    number
    of log messages.

More information on the wiki page:
http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxHttpUploadProgressModule
and the git repository:

The code is available as an attachment of the aforementionned page.

Installation instructions:

nginx_uploadprogress_module has been compiled/tested with Nginx 0.6.x,
and 0.7.59. The legacy 0.5.x versions are not supported,
please upgrade your nginx installation to the current stable (0.7.x).

  1. download the Nginx sources from http://nginx.net/ and unpack it.
