docs: enhance nginx.conf to work with flask 3
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Playing large opus files within firefox and gstreamer/mopidy worked for me only after I made this change in my nginx config.
I guess this was not a problem previously since older flask versions did not support range queries at all but that seems to have changed partially with flask 3 since it returns an `Accept-Ranges: bytes` header.
Though, when using flask for streaming directly (without reverse-proxy), audio still doesn't play within firefox or gstreamer.
gstreamer logged an error indicating the request is unsupported.
