Currently this fork is versioned with a +veracross build suffix. This follows the build metadata portion of Semantic Versioning specification.

Documentation

The following documentation covers the features this fork adds. The original documentation should be used for all other functionality:

• English
• Russian

upload_pass_other_methods

This flag (on/off) configures the upload module to pass any requests that are not POST, PUT or PATCH on to the upload_pass location without processing them at all.

The nginx-upload-module normally responds to OPTIONS requests with a hard-coded 200 OK response, which does not allow applications to properly handle cross-domain OPTIONS requests.

With this option turned on, your application code will be invoked for OPTIONS requests, and all other methods such as GET, DELETE and HEAD.

location /files {
	upload_pass @my_handler;
	upload_pass_other_methods on;
}

upload_allow_methods_put_patch

This flag (on/off) configures the upload module to allow file upload handling for the HTTP PUT and PATCH methods.

The nginx-upload-module normally rejects all requests that do not use POST.

location /files {
	upload_pass @my_handler;
	upload_allow_methods_put_patch on;
}
