Can anyone help me with nginx "location" I want to add this block to my nginx conf

 location / {
       limit_conn zone_name 8; 
     }

I need to modify location to /folder/index.php?file=x Where x can be an string (e.g 7fe8j)

Thanks

I'm not sure that I understand the problem. If you add that block to your nginx config, what doesn't work? – nickgrim Aug 28 '12 at 11:52

The short answer is you can't.

limit_conn directive only works in http, server, location context. And location directive only match against the URI (/folder/index.php) without query parameters (?file=x).

Ohh ......then it is possible to make it match /folder/index.php?file.The ?file is important for me as all file to be downloaded has this in their link.My objective is to control the max number of concurrent connections a downloader can make – Werulz Aug 29 '12 at 8:44
?file can be match by using if ($args ~ "^file=(.*)") { but you'll get the [emerg] "limit_conn" directive is not allowed here in message if you put a limit_conn directive inside. – quanta Aug 29 '12 at 8:58
ohh.....any other way to limit connection for /folder/index.php?file= – Werulz Aug 30 '12 at 3:37
