Description

NGINZ zip module assembles ZIP archives dynamically. It can stream component files from upstream servers with nginx's native proxying code, so that the process never takes up more than a few KB of RAM at a time, even while assembling archives that are (potentially) gigabytes in size. mod_zip supports a number of "modern" ZIP features, including large files, UTC timestamps, and UTF-8 filenames. It allows clients to resume large downloads using the "Range" and "If-Range" headers, although these feature require the server to know the file checksums (CRC-32's) in advance. See "Usage" for details. To unzip files on the fly, check out nginx-module-unzip. To enable this module after installation, add the following to /etc/nginx/nginx.conf and reload NGINX: load_module modules/ngx_http_zip_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;

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