Hello,  
I have an nginx in front of an Windows IIS to delete some headers send  
my IIS from proprietary application.  
Now I try to use the following parameter on nginx running on windows:

# SSL session cache

#ssl\_session\_cache shared:SSL:10m; # a 1mb cache can hold about 4000  
sessions, so we can hold 40000 sessions  
#ssl\_session\_cache builtin:1000 shared:SSL:10m;

both of them dosnt run.  
When I start nginx it will closed indemedaly, without any error on  
command line.  
Whats going on here?  
Can someone confirm this behaviour?

I have try Version 1.4.4 and 1.5.8 from  
[nginx: download](http://nginx.org/en/download.html).

Regards,  
Basti

The cache and other modules which require shared memory support  
do not work on Windows Vista and later versions due to address  
space layout randomization being enabled in these Windows  
versions.
