Description

nginx [engine x] is an HTTP and reverse proxy server, as well as a mail proxy server. This is the GetPageSpeed "nginx-mod" build: stable nginx with an opinionated patch set (extended limit_req_rate units r/h, r/d, r/w, r/M, r/Y; dynamic TLS records; HTTP/3 :authority -> Host mapping; natural-sort autoindex; slow_start support; stricter max_headers default; dark-mode error pages) and two extra statically-built modules: * ngx_http_upstream_check_module - active backend health checks * ngx_http_upstream_api_module - NGINX Plus-compatible dynamic upstream management nginx-mod is ABI-compatible with our stable nginx. Dynamic modules from the stable channel (extras.getpagespeed.com codename suite) load against it without rebuild.

Built for Ubuntu.
