Nginx Server Configs homepage | Documentation table of contents
This directory contains config snippets (mixins) to be included as desired.
There are two types of config files provided, individual config snippets and combined config files which provide convenient defaults.
This file loads a small subset of the rules provided by this repository to add expires headers, allow cross domain fonts and protect system files from web access.
Files in this folder contain one or more location directives. They are intended to be loaded in the server context (or, in a nested location block).
URL-based cache busting. This will route all requests of the form
/css/style.20120716.css to /css/style.css
Note that this file cannot/should not be used if any other location directives use the same/overlapping URL patterns.
This file contains headers for allowing cross-domain webfont requests.
Note that this file cannot/should not be used if any other location directives use the same/overlapping URL patterns.
This file contains some typical expire rules for use with static files.
Note that this file cannot/should not be used if any other location directives use the same/overlapping URL patterns.
This file prevents access to hidden files and common backup/config/source files.
Files in this folder only contain directives, the context in which they apply varies from file to file - be sure to check the official documentation to include in the appropriate context.
This tells Nginx to cache open file handles, "not found" errors, metadata about files and their permissions, etc.
This allows Nginx to respond immediately when a common file is requested. Note however that this also means that changes to files are not reflected immediately, and is most appropriate for use on server where file contents do not change, or the server is reloaded when they do.
This file adds the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header permitting global access.
Depending on the use case it maybe be more appropriate to use a more restrictive
header to permit only a finite list of domains to make AJAX requests.
No transform headers prevent mobile providers from modifying/optimizing served content. This file contains the directive only and should be included only when it is specifically desired for the server response to remain unmodified.
Note that adding this header to responses will also prevent nginx_pagespeed,
if used, from optimizing HTML responses.
This file contains sane-default config for setting up nginx to handle SSL traffic.
SPDY is Google's experimental network protocol. Nginx provides experimental support for SPDY as of version 1.5.9.
OCSP staping relates to handling the revocation of SSL certificates, this config file turns on stapling using Google's DNS resolver.
This adds a header to force internet explorer to use the highest mode available. As of Internet explorer version 11 this is no longer necessary.
