Description

The loop detect module allows NGINX to use the CDN-Loop header to prevent request loops. This is particularly important for CDN configurations where requests may inadvertently loop between servers. The module implements RFC 8586 for loop detection in content delivery networks. To enable this module after installation, add the following to /etc/nginx/nginx.conf and reload NGINX: load_module modules/ngx_http_loop_detect_module.so; Alternatively, enable all installed modules by adding this line to the top of /etc/nginx/nginx.conf: include /usr/share/nginx/modules/*.conf;

Built for Amazon Linux.
