Nginx 1.10.2 for Windows

By Kevin Worthington Published: 18 October 2016

Nginx 1.10.2 for Windows (32-bit and 64-bit builds) are now available for free download. As always, packages are built from the upstream stable branch. Nginx (pronounced “engine x”) is a high performance web server, caching proxy and a Layer 7 load balancing solution. Millions of web sites on the Internet use and benefit from Nginx because of its extreme performance, scalability, reliability, flexibility, and security.

Note: these builds are built with older versions of OpenSSL and therefore SSL/TLS is NOT recommended for use. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. Using http only is recommended.

On 2016-10-18, the stable version of Nginx 1.10.2 was released at nginx.org. The upstream changelog is as follows:

Changes with nginx 1.10.2 — 18 Oct 2016

) Change: the “421 Misdirected Request” response now used when rejecting requests to a virtual server different from one negotiated during an SSL handshake; this improves interoperability with some HTTP/2 clients when using client certificates.

) Change: HTTP/2 clients can now start sending request body immediately; the “http2_body_preread_size” directive controls size of the buffer used before nginx will start reading client request body.

) Bugfix: a segmentation fault might occur in a worker process when using HTTP/2 and the “proxy_request_buffering” directive.

) Bugfix: the “Content-Length” request header line was always added to requests passed to backends, including requests without body, when using HTTP/2.

) Bugfix: “http request count is zero” alerts might appear in logs when using HTTP/2.

) Bugfix: unnecessary buffering might occur when using the “sub_filter” directive; the issue had appeared in 1.9.4.

) Bugfix: socket leak when using HTTP/2.

) Bugfix: an incorrect response might be returned when using the “aio threads” and “sendfile” directives; the bug had appeared in 1.9.13.

) Workaround: OpenSSL 1.1.0 compatibility.

These Windows install files are provided to support legacy users who still use the Cygwin based builds. Before nginx.org starting providing native Windows packages, these were the only way to run Nginx on Windows. Now, official native Windows builds are available and supported at nginx.org. Please use those if you are new to Nginx on Windows. Once again, they are fully supported and available for download at nginx.org.
