An nginx module written in C that parses multipart/form-data (RFC 1867) request bodies, storing uploaded files to disk and passing a modified request downstream. It also supports resumable uploads via a custom protocol.

Use cases

• handle multipart file uploads in nginx
• resumable large file uploads
• offload upload parsing from backend app servers
• store uploaded files to disk before passing to app
• limit upload file size and rate at the web server

When to choose

• you use nginx and want fast, native handling of multipart uploads
• you need resumable uploads without a separate upload service
• you want to strip file payloads from requests before they hit your backend

When to avoid

• you use a web server other than nginx
• you need uploads processed fully in memory or streamed to object storage
• you want a maintained module with a standard OSI license (license is non-standard)
