1 Compose module for nginx.
2
3 This module allows compose several subrequests into one reply. The
4 same thing may be achieved by SSI, but unlike SSI this module will also
5 set Content-Length and allow range requests.
6
7 Basically it grabs X-Compose and X-Compose-Length headers from original
8 reply and does the following:
9
10 1. If X-Compose-Length present, sets Content-Length to it's value.
11 2. Composes multiple subrequests from X-Compose headers.
12
13 When used without X-Compose-Length it's basically identical to SSI and
14 not needed. The X-Compose-Length header must be calculated correctly by
15 somebody.
16
17 To compile nginx with compose module, use "--add-module <path>" option to
18 nginx configure.
