Nginx 1.12.2 for Windows

By Kevin Worthington Published: 17 October 2017

Nginx 1.12.2 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 2017-10-17, the stable version of Nginx 1.12.2 was released at nginx.org. The upstream changelog is as follows:

Changes with nginx 1.12.2 – 17 Oct 2017

) Bugfix: client SSL connections were immediately closed if deferred accept and the “proxy_protocol” parameter of the “listen” directive were used.

) Bugfix: client connections might be dropped during configuration testing when using the “reuseport” parameter of the “listen” directive on Linux.

) Bugfix: incorrect response length was returned on 32-bit platforms when requesting more than 4 gigabytes with multiple ranges.

) Bugfix: switching to the next upstream server in the stream module did not work when using the “ssl_preread” directive.

) Bugfix: when using HTTP/2 client request body might be corrupted.

) Bugfix: in handling of client addresses when using unix domain sockets.
