Issues with HttpChunkinModule

Server NGINX
1

Hi,

I am trying to set up a nginx server to support chunking. I followed the
steps mentioned in the below webpage to use the feature

http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpChunkinModule

My nginx version is 1.4.1. According to the above link, I dont need to
build chunking module separate as it is already built into the core. But
I
am getting below error in my logs when I start nginx service

2014/11/26 12:39:03 [emerg] 14634#0: unknown directive “chunkin” in
/usr/local/test/etc/nginx/nginx.conf:46

Below is my server configuration

server {

   listen   10.142.54.20:7549;

   server_name   test-lnx;

   chunkin on;



   location /images/ {

     root   /opt;



    }

Find below the output for nginx command for v and V options.

[root@test-lnx sbin]# ./nginx -v
nginx version: nginx/1.4.1

[root@test-lnx sbin]# ./nginx -V

nginx version: nginx/1.4.1

Do I need to explicitly any options to use Chunkin module? Is there
anything
wrong with my configuration.

Arun

Hey Arun,

as docs says you do not need to compile this module anymore, or even try
to
set "chunkin on; "
The nginx core will “detect” when your response does not have a
Content-Length set, and will enable the chunk mode automatically.
Just remove that line from your configuration and be happy :smiley:

This module is no longer needed for Nginx 1.3.9+ because since 1.3.9,
the
Nginx core already has built-in support for the chunked request bodies.

And this module is now only maintained for Nginx versions older than
1.3.9.

Hi Wandenberg,

I was not aware that nginx auto-detects based on the content length. I
will
comment out the options and check it out.

Thanks for your response.

Regards,
Arun
