| 1 Bytes module for nginx. | |
| 2 | |
| 3 This module was designed to allow easy access to range of file data. It | |
| 4 searches request arguments for 'bytes=...' and return requested range. All | |
| 5 requested data is returned concatinated in single reply, with apropriate | |
| 6 Content-Length set. | |
| 7 | |
| 8 All of the above allows to do nasty things with regular files and even | |
| 9 proxied replies, including things like flv streaming. E.g. one may use | |
| 10 something like this instead of flv module: | |
| 11 | |
| 12 location /video/ { | |
| 13 bytes on; | |
| 14 if ($args ~ "start=(\d+)") { | |
| 15 set $args "bytes=0-12,$1-"; | |
| 16 } | |
| 17 } | |
| 18 | |
| 19 Argument bytes= must contain range specification as defined in RFC 2616, | |
| 20 "14.35.1 Byte Ranges", with the following exceptions: | |
| 21 | |
| 22 1. Whitespaces aren't permitted. | |
| 23 | |
| 24 1. Ranges must not overlap and must be monothonic. E.g. something | |
| 25 like "bytes=10-20,0-10" isn't premitted. | |
| 26 | |
| 27 To compile nginx with bytes module, use "--add-module <path>" option to nginx | |
| 28 configure. |
