so therefore this script would send a test 10MB file to the client and the session_id would be logged into the access-log

this is an incredibly usefull feature as the logs can be parsed later to deduce how much bandwidth was used per session!

Try a variation on this:

log_format my_log_format "$bytes_sent $upstream_http_x_session_id" access_log /somewhere/access.log my_log_format

Then send the header from the PHP script as "X-Session-ID". Use proxy_hide_header if you wish to suppress X-Session-ID from the client.

thanks Evan for fast reply! im gonna run some tests now then make an article on a blog or on the nginx wiki detailing the setup, might come in usefull for someone else
