Nginx upload PUT and POST

Question

I am trying to make nginx accept POST and PUT methods to upload files. I have compiled nginx_upload_module-2.2.0.

I can't find any how to. I simply want to use only nginx for this, no reverse proxy, no other backend and no php.

Is this achievable?

this is my conf:

nginx version: nginx/1.2.3TLS SNI support enabled configure arguments: --prefix=/etc/nginx --sbin-path=/usr/sbin/nginx --conf-path=/etc/nginx/nginx.conf --error-log-path=/var/log/nginx/error.log --http-log-path=/var/log/nginx/access.log --pid-path=/var/run/nginx.pid --lock-path=/var/run/nginx.lock --http-client-body-temp-path=/var/cache/nginx/client_temp --http-proxy-temp-path=/var/cache/nginx/proxy_temp --http-fastcgi-temp-path=/var/cache/nginx/fastcgi_temp --http-uwsgi-temp-path=/var/cache/nginx/uwsgi_temp --http-scgi-temp-path=/var/cache/nginx/scgi_temp --user=nginx --group=nginx --with-http_ssl_module --with-http_realip_module --with-http_addition_module --with-http_sub_module --with-http_dav_module --with-http_flv_module --with-http_mp4_module --with-http_gzip_static_module --with-http_random_index_module --with-http_secure_link_module --with-http_stub_status_module --with-mail --with-mail_ssl_module --with-file-aio --with-ipv6 --with-cc-opt='-O2 -g' --add-module=/usr/src/nginx-1.2.3/nginx_upload_module-2.2.0 server { listen 80; server_name example.com; location / { root /html; autoindex on; } location /upload { root /html; autoindex on; upload_store /html/upload 1; upload_set_form_field $upload_field_name.name "$upload_file_name"; upload_set_form_field $upload_field_name.content_type "$upload_content_type"; upload_set_form_field $upload_field_name.path "$upload_tmp_path"; upload_aggregate_form_field "$upload_field_name.md5" "$upload_file_md5"; upload_aggregate_form_field "$upload_field_name.size" "$upload_file_size"; upload_pass_form_field "^submit$|^description$"; upload_cleanup 400 404 499 500-505; } } 

And as an upload form I'm trying to use the one listed at the end of this page: http://grid.net.ru/nginx/upload.en.html

Answer 1

Regarding POST requests: Maybe you didn't create the directories 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 in your upload target dir?

You can always use DAV for PUT requests, you got it compiled into your nginx already:

location /upload { alias upload/data; client_body_temp_path upload/client_tmp; dav_methods PUT DELETE MKCOL COPY MOVE; create_full_put_path on; dav_access group:rw all:r; } 

And you'll need this (in http or location):

client_max_body_size 10000m; 

Now have a try:

curl -T ubuntu-10.04.4-alternate-amd64.iso http://localhost/upload/blah2

The third party upload module does not support PUT at all. If you want to use PUT uploads you must do so using standard nginx upload handling.
