Hi!

Currently, nginx does not support DSO to load additional
modules. Therefore, nginx sources come with many modules. This also
means that if we want to add a third-party module to nginx, we need to
include it in nginx package.

It would be very convenient if dynamic loadable modules were supported
in nginx. I don't have the capacity to vouch for one patch in
particular, but here is one:

 https://github.com/hamano/nginx-mod-so

I am also aware of this limitation:

 http://mailman.nginx.org/pipermail/nginx/2011-November/030684.html

The ABI problem is not very convenient but a third-party module could
match exactly the binary version of nginx. As for the reload problem,
I have no clue.

I don't expect this problem to be solved soon. I am just registering
my interest for a nginx with DSO support. In case there is a suitable
patch in the future, please include it.

thanks

We won't be applying any patches to make this work. Nginx will be making this
available in the future. When they add that functionality, we'll make the
packages work with it.
