軟件簡介
nginx（發音同 engine x）是一款輕量級的Web 服務器／反向代理服務器及電子郵件（IMAP/POP3）代理服務器，并在一個BSD-like 協議下發行。由俄羅斯的程序設計師Igor Sysoev所開發，最初供俄國大型的入口網站及搜尋引擎Rambler（俄文：Рамблер）使用。其特點是占有內存少，并發能力強，事實上 nginx的并發能力確實在同類型的網頁伺服器中表現較好.目前中國大陸使用nginx網站用戶有：新浪、網易、騰訊,另外知名的微網志Plurk也使用nginx。
Changes with nginx 0.8.53 18 Oct 2010
*) Feature: now the "error_page" directive allows to change a status
code in a redirect.
*) Feature: the "gzip_disable" directive supports special "degradation"
mask.
*) Bugfix: a socket leak might occurred if file AIO was used.
Thanks to Maxim Dounin.
*) Bugfix: if the first server had no "listen" directive and there was
no explicit default server, then a next server with a "listen"
directive became the default server; the bug had appeared in 0.8.21.
