Complete Noobs Guide to Hacking Nginx
I don't want to sound rude but the title doesn't seem appropriate at all.
Your article is about how you hacked nginx for your specific need (eventually fix it if it finally merge to 0.8) but not a "complete noob guide".
That being said, nice fix !
> sudo make install
Judging from my understanding of the article, you are using Ubuntu. Please, please, please don't ever teach "complete noobs" installing anything this way. I won't insist on full course of backporting with apt-get source, hacking on debian/* and doing dpkg-buildpackage, but even silly `sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local && make install` is more appropriate than Slackware-ish `sudo make install`. And, while far from being perfect, checkinstall(1), is easy to use and should work fairly well.
I had to manage several Debian GNU/Linux-based systems with ton of software installed this way, and it was... well, quite painful. Package management is there for a reason.
The nginx source code is actually very readably and very well organised; I've never programmed professionally in c, but I feel quite comfortable reading and grokking nginx source.
Why wouldn't you just use POST? Being "RESTful" is even more ridiculous than validating strict XHTML, since, apparently, it causes you to build an unnecessary patch for your webserver. Just because a feature exists doesn't mean you are bound to use it (PUT, DELETE). The distinctions are nonsense.
Nginx is not βan established C projectβ, itβs the insane product of Igorβs twisted mind. Itβs a brilliant totally asynchronous giant state machine β which is how itβs so blindingly fast β because everything is non-blocking, and everything is super efficient.
I'd like to see a diagram of that state machine!
What's the problem with sending "Content-Length: 0" as part of the PUT headers?
awesome post !

It is not a hacking, it is a very primitive monkey-patching.
