Nginx 1.13.7 for Windows

By Kevin Worthington Published: 21 November 2017

Nginx 1.13.7 32-bit and 64-bit builds for Windows are now available for free download.

As usual, packages were built using the upstream mainline branch’s source code. “Engine x” is a high performance web server. It is also a caching proxy and a Layer 7 load balancing solution. Millions of web sites on the Internet use and benefit from Nginx while offering extreme performance, scalability, reliability, flexibility, and security.

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

On 2017-11-21, the mainline version 1.13.7 was released at nginx.org. Also, the upstream changelog is as follows:

Changes with nginx 1.13.7 – 21 Nov 2017

) Bug fix: in the $upstream_status variable.

) Bugfix: a segmentation fault might occur in a worker process if a backend returned a “101 Switching Protocols” response to a subrequest.

) Bug fix: a segmentation fault occurred in a master process if a shared memory zone size was changed during a reconfiguration and the reconfiguration failed.

) Bugfix: in the ngx_http_fastcgi_module.

) Bug fix: nginx returned the 500 error if parameters without variables were specified in the “xslt_stylesheet” directive.

) Workaround: “gzip filter failed to use preallocated memory” alerts appeared in logs when using a zlib library variant from Intel.

) Bugfix: the “worker_shutdown_timeout” directive did not work when using mail proxy and when proxying WebSocket connections.

Due to the build process, these Windows install files are provided to support legacy users. In other words, those who still use the Cygwin based builds. I started building long before official builds became available. Initially there was no other way to run on Windows. But now, official native Windows builds are available and supported at nginx.org. So please use the official builds if you are new to Nginx on Windows. Once again, they are fully supported and available for download at nginx.org.

Consequently, you may Download Nginx 1.13.7 for Windows (32-bit & 64-bit versions) here.
