Hi. How does NGINX process auth_basic_user_file?
1) Does it read it in entirety on every connection? 2) Does it read it line by line on every connection and stops when a match is found? 3) Does it read it full on start and re-reads it only if the file is changed? If its either 1 or 2, then is it not very inefficient to read a file on just every connection? If the file has fairly large number of entries (5-10mb), will it not affect the performance of web server in general? There should be some "indexed" approach to this. Thanks. _______________________________________________ nginx mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx
