Hi there

I’m trying to work with some third-party modules, and it seems they  
need very specific point releases of nginx in order to work correctly.

e.g. the handlersocket module here;

```
https://github.com/akalend/ngx_http_handlersocket_json_module

```

…apparently works with nginx 0.8.64.

But, that version is not available on the download page here;

```
http://nginx.org/en/download.html

```

I can’t even find it in the SVN repository.

```
trac.nginx.org/nginx/browser#nginx/tags

```

Is there a place to get old releases of the nginx source tarballs?

Thanks

David

This is because there was no such version. The last one in 0.8.\*  
branch is 0.8.55.

The [Index of /download/](http://nginx.org/download/) should be a proper one. Currently  
it only contains tarballs since 2007, probably older tarballs  
should be placed there too, just for history.

Ah, that would explain it! The module’s author must have gotten  
confused.

Many thanks
