Description

nginx [engine x] is an HTTP and reverse proxy server, as well as a mail proxy server. This version adds some patches to improve performance: * HPACK by Cloudflare * Dynamic TLS records Built with QuicTLS to support HTTP/3, ensuring you're at the forefront of web technology. Be careful using this in production. This package merely addresses all the crazy folks who want you to compile NGINX to get the above features. The compiled NGINX is evil for many reasons. For more info, see: https://www.getpagespeed.com/server-setup/where-compilation-went-wrong The lesser, as well as faster evil is here. Packaged install is easier to use in production and is also easier to roll back to stable NGINX version in case there's an issue with those patches.

Compatible with all RHEL-based distributions, including CentOS, AlmaLinux, Oracle Linux, Rocky Linux, etc.
