Btw, there is also specially tuned Nginx AMI: https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B00A04GAG4/


linux rootkit in combination with any http server



Where did you find "communist imagery in the logo"? http://nginx.org/nginx.gif


http://wiki.nginx.org/images/8/83/Nginx-logo.svg

Old one was better, IMO. "Communist imagery" had some style.


It's not the "old one". Actually, the green logo was made by Igor Sysoev and it is the oldest and the only official logo.

That one from "wiki.nginx.org" is made by Cliff Wells, creator of the wiki: http://www.enemyofthestatement.com/page/view/about

btw, it's funny, @maratd who wrote "Placing communist imagery in the logo isn't amusing" doesn't even imagine that it actually was done by US citizen.


> Actually, the green logo was made by Igor Sysoev and it is the oldest and the only official logo.

Perform a simple whois on nginx.org and you will see that Igor Sysoev is the registrant.

That logo appears on his website over which he has complete control, even now.

I was always taught to assume the best about people.

I will assume that you are correct, that another gentleman who is either ignorant or has a poor sense of humor created and used the logo. I will assume that Mr. Sysoev is far too nice to tell Mr. Wells to take it down.

I retract what I previously said.

EDIT:

I have read the comment which you posted below, in Russian. Mr. Sysoev said that he didn't make it and doesn't like it, for the same reasons I gave earlier. It seems he is too nice to tell the gentleman to take it down.

I apologize for what I said.



It's not a magic. It's just an optimization. Prefixed strings are organized to the radix tree for fast configuration lookup.

But the only way to deal with regexps is to execute them sequentially.

btw, the official doc is here: http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#loca...


In the link that you mentioned, ETags are produced and handled by application. There are no special needs in web-server support.


Right... I was assuming that the OP wanted to know what ETags are, rather than their specific implementation in nginx.


Etags are useful for static assets as well.
