I have for hours been trying to understand and figure out how this is working, and searched and tried a lot, but still.... No hair left on my head :(
Sources for trial and errors http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_secure_link_module.html#variables http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8848919/secure-pseudo-streaming-flv-files/8863219#8863219 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27468743/nginx-secure-link-module-not-working-with-php-files-but-working-on-static-files http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30065870/nginx-httpsecurelinkmodule-php-example The question is how do I get Nginx and php to make a timed encrypted link to play a video? The final output should be looking like http://domain.tld/videos/529d86c4ff560cb559df7eb794aeb4b1/56f5bec4/5/4/d/f/e/54dfee5c43e6e.mp4 real path for this video is /var/www/domain.tld/media/videos/5/4/d/f/e/54dfee5c43e6e.mp4 The php snippet that should be left unaltered if possible, since it will be updated from time to time from the developer. So all modifications have to made in NginX //generate lighttpd hash function getMediaLink($filename) { global $modsec_secret; // example: s3cr3tk3y (from your lighttpd config) global $modsec_url; // example: http://media.asfd.com/dl/ with trailing slash $filename = rawurldecode($filename); $f = "/".$filename; $t = time(); $t_hex = sprintf("%08x", $t); $m = md5($modsec_secret.$f.$t_hex); $link = $modsec_url.$m.'/'.$t_hex.$f; return $link; } And to the NginX conf file i have this head: server { listen 80; # http2; server_name localhost; index index.php index.html index.htm; #charset koi8-r; access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log main; root /var/www/domain.tld; location / { ..... (the latest attempt) location /videos/ { secure_link $arg_st,$arg_e; secure_link_md5 secretstring$uri$arg_e; location ~ \.mp4$ { if ($secure_link = "") { return 403; } mp4; mp4_buffer_size 1m; mp4_max_buffer_size 5m; gzip off; } location ~ \.flv$ { if ($secure_link = "") { return 403; } flv; } } Could some one please try to tell me how to make this happen, but maybe more important why, in a passion that mae me understand how and why?
