This is for an API, so no browsers are or will be involved. So, I should print binary information from my LUA script? A second question, can I offload receiving a very large zip file to NGINX? I just need to know in my LUA script when it has fully arrived and the name assigned to it. Many thanks for your help. The Openresty Slack app hasn't helped a bit.
