Limit file upload per type with NGinx

Question

On my project, I will allow users to send zip files and images files (on two different form post).

The project is developed with Play! Framework (not PHP).

I'd like to limit the size of upload for 1Mo if it's images, and 10Mo if it's zip.

Is this possible ?

I saw the directive client_max_body_size that should do what I'm looking for, but I can't find a way to apply this per mimetype.

Thanks for your help :)

Answer 1

You can create different locations whith different client_max_body_size (or everything u want) for images, zips and etc.

just use:

location ~* ^.+\.(jpg|jpeg|gif) {

client_max_body_size 1m;
...proxy_pass or whatever
}

location ~* ^.+\.(zip|rar) {
client_max_body_size 10m;
...proxy_pass or whatever

}
