• after that, download the latest version of this module
• and finally build the Nginx source with this module

    wget 'http://nginx.org/download/nginx-1.5.8.tar.gz'
    tar -xzvf nginx-1.5.8.tar.gz
    cd nginx-1.5.8/
 
    # Here we assume you would install you nginx under /opt/nginx/.
    ./configure --prefix=/opt/nginx \
         --add-module=/path/to/nginx-eblob

    make
    make install

This module was created for cooperation with Elliptics storage. It allows direct downloads from storage servers. You may want to use this module if you want to decrease network usage on your Elliptics' proxy servers. In order to prevent unauthorized downloads there is a digital signature of request url. (Will be implemented in this module future releases).

eblob

default: n/a

context: location

Enable streaming from eblob at a particular location

Basically it's a FLV pseudostreaming module reimplemented as a filter. Thus it is able to work in cooperation with nginx's cache or eblob module.

flv_filter

syntax: flv_filter (off|cached|on)

default: off

context: location

on - Enable FLV pseudostreaming filter for all requests

cached - Enable FLV pseudostreaming filter only for requests that were already cached

off - Disable FLV pseudostreaming filter
