Nginx 1.11.3 for Windows

By Kevin Worthington Published: 26 July 2016

Note specific to 1.11.3: There is a bug with stream support in 1.11.3, so I removed the –with-stream flag in order to have a working version. See here for more: https://trac.nginx.org/nginx/ticket/1032

Nginx 1.11.3 for Windows (32-bit and 64-bit builds) are now available for free download. As always, packages are built from the upstream mainline 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 2016-07-26, the mainline version of Nginx 1.11.3 was released at nginx.org. The upstream changelog is as follows:

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.
