The NGINX HTTP Server

by Dimitri Aivaliotis | April 2013 | Linux Servers Open Source

An HTTP server is primarily a piece of software that will deliver web pages to clients when requested. These web pages can be anything from a simple HTML file on disk to a multicomponent framework delivering user-specific content, dynamically updated through AJAX or WebSocket. NGINX is modular, and is designed to handle any kind of HTTP serving necessary.

In this article by Dimitri Aivaloitis, author of Mastering NGINX , we will investigate the various modules that work together to make NGINX such a scalable HTTP server. The following topics are included in this article:

  • NGINX's architecture

  • The HTTP core module

  • Using limits to prevent abuse

  • Restricting access

  • Streaming media files

  • Predefined variables

  • Using NGINX with PHP-FPM

  • Wiring NGINX and uWSGI together
