Please try and report any issues :-) Thanks!
@schmittlauch the Prosody integrated HTTP server seems to be memory leaking.
No, Nginx cannot be used like that directly. Maybe with some Lua Scripts attached, but that would not really have any adventage over using prosody-filer.
@schmittlauch also somebody (?) told me that Prosody Devs recommend using the http_upload_external Module instead of the integrated upload server, because "Lua was never made for HTTP" or something like that. In a nutshell: The On-board HTTP server does not seem to be adequate for big XMPP setups.
@trashserver it looks like it could also work with #ejabberd in the next release: https://github.com/processone/ejabberd/commit/fface33d54f24c777dbec96fda6bd00e665327fe
@trashserver What advantage does the filer provide compared to plain Nginx? Is there no possibility for configuring Nginx to allow uploads with a certain shared secret?
