Hi,

I'm proud to announce the availability of the version 0.5 of the nginx_upload_progress_module. This version fixes two bugs introduced in v0.4. This version seems now stable enough to be used (but still with caution) under load in production.

As usual the module is available as an attachment to the module wiki page: http://wiki.codemongers.com/NginxHttpUploadProgressModule

Changes since v0.4: ===================

* fixed progress probes returning "done" when upload was still in progress (thanks to Alexandr Kutuzov for his detailed report)

* fixed stuck worker processes because of rescheduled timer when issuing a reload or graceful quit (thanks to Alexandr Kutuzov for his detailed report)

More Information: =================

This module implements a progress upload ala Lighttpd mod_uploadprogress for nginx. It monitors RFC1867 uploads sent to upstream servers and can serve special JSON response containing information about the upload progress on request.

This module doesn't implement a RFC1867 parser and client code. As such I consider this module as a temporary hack until Igor Sysoev implements a full client body filter chain into Nginx.

This module is delivered as is (no guarantee of any kind) under the BSD license with the following caveats and warnings: * this software has never been tested under load. It only passed a few lab tests (including stress testing of upload and tracking uploads). * it is not intended to be deployed on *production systems*. * when compiled with --with-debug, this module will produce high number of log messages.

The code is available as an attachment of the aforementionned page.

Installation instructions: ==========================

nginx_uploadprogress_module has been compiled/tested with Nginx 0.6.1, 0.6.12, 0.6.13, 0.6.30 and 0.7.1. The legacy 0.5.x versions are not supported, please upgrade your nginx installation to the current stable (0.6.30 and more).

1) download the Nginx sources from http://nginx.net/ and unpack it.

2) build Nginx: change to the directory which contains the Nginx sources, and run the configuration script making sure to add the path to the nginx_uploadprogress_module sources using the --add-module option: $ ./configure --add-module=/path/to/nginx_uploadprogress_module/

Now you can build and install the software: $ make

and as root: $ make install

For usage, configuration and examples, please see the wiki page or the README file.

Anyway enjoy :-)
