Branch: pkgsrc-2013Q3, Version: 1.5.7, Package name: nginx-1.5.7, Maintainer: imil

Nginx (pronounced engine-x) is a free, open-source, high-performance HTTP
server and reverse proxy, as well as an IMAP/POP3 proxy server. Igor Sysoev
started development of Nginx in 2002, with the first public release in 2004.
Nginx now hosts nearly 12.18% (22.2M) of active sites across all domains.
Nginx is known for its high performance, stability, rich feature set, simple
configuration, and low resource consumption.

Nginx is one of a handful of servers written to address the C10K problem.
Unlike traditional servers, Nginx doesn't rely on threads to handle requests.
Instead it uses a much more scalable event-driven (asynchronous) architecture.
This architecture uses small, but more importantly, predictable amounts of
memory under load.
Even if you don't expect to handle thousands of simultaneous requests, you can
still benefit from Nginx's high-performance and small memory footprint.
Nginx scales in all directions: from the smallest VPS all the way up to
clusters of servers.

Nginx powers several high-visibility sites, such as Netflix, Hulu, Pinterest,
CloudFlare, Airbnb, WordPress.com, GitHub, SoundCloud, Zynga, Eventbrite,
Zappos, Media Temple, Heroku, RightScale, Engine Yard and NetDNA.

    *) Security: a character following an unescaped space in a request line
       was handled incorrectly (CVE-2013-4547); the bug had appeared in
       0.8.41.
       Thanks to Ivan Fratric of the Google Security Team.

    *) Change: a logging level of auth_basic errors about no user/password
       provided has been lowered from "error" to "info".

    *) Feature: the "proxy_cache_revalidate", \ 
"fastcgi_cache_revalidate",
       "scgi_cache_revalidate", and "uwsgi_cache_revalidate" \ 
directives.

    *) Feature: the "ssl_session_ticket_key" directive.
       Thanks to Piotr Sikora.

    *) Bugfix: the directive "add_header Cache-Control ''" added a
       "Cache-Control" response header line with an empty value.

    *) Bugfix: the "satisfy any" directive might return 403 error \ 
instead of
       401 if auth_request and auth_basic directives were used.
       Thanks to Jan Marc Hoffmann.

    *) Bugfix: the "accept_filter" and "deferred" parameters \ 
of the "listen"
       directive were ignored for listen sockets created during binary
       upgrade.
       Thanks to Piotr Sikora.

    *) Bugfix: some data received from a backend with unbufferred proxy
       might not be sent to a client immediately if "gzip" or \ 
"gunzip"
       directives were used.
       Thanks to Yichun Zhang.

    *) Bugfix: in error handling in ngx_http_gunzip_filter_module.

    *) Bugfix: responses might hang if the ngx_http_spdy_module was used
       with the "auth_request" directive.

    *) Bugfix: memory leak in nginx/Windows.

Changes with nginx 1.5.6                                         01 Oct 2013

       chains.

    *) Feature: the mail proxy supports SMTP pipelining.

    *) Bugfix: in the ngx_http_auth_basic_module when using "$apr1$"
       password encryption method.
       Thanks to Markus Linnala.

    *) Bugfix: in MacOSX, Cygwin, and nginx/Windows incorrect location might
       be used to process a request if locations were given using characters
       in different cases.

    *) Bugfix: automatic redirect with appended trailing slash for proxied
       locations might not work.

    *) Bugfix: in the mail proxy server.

    *) Change: now nginx assumes HTTP/1.0 by default if it is not able to
       detect protocol reliably.

    *) Feature: the "disable_symlinks" directive now uses O_PATH on Linux.

    *) Feature: now nginx uses EPOLLRDHUP events to detect premature
       connection close by clients if the "epoll" method is used.

    *) Bugfix: in the "valid_referers" directive if the \ 
"server_names"
       parameter was used.

    *) Change: the "js" extension MIME type has been changed to
       "application/javascript"; default value of the \ 
"charset_types"
       directive was changed accordingly.

    *) Change: now the "image_filter" directive with the \ 
"size" parameter
       returns responses with the "application/json" MIME type.

    *) Feature: the ngx_http_auth_request_module.

    *) Bugfix: a segmentation fault might occur on start or during
       reconfiguration if the "try_files" directive was used with an empty

       in the "root" or "auth_basic_user_file" directives.

    *) Bugfix: the "valid_referers" directive incorrectly executed regular
       expressions if a "Referer" header started with "https://".
       Thanks to Liangbin Li.

    *) Bugfix: responses might hang if subrequests were used and an SSL
       handshake error happened during subrequest processing.
       Thanks to Aviram Cohen.
