From 681107097674c298ee642492e43f43b67b398123 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Max Goltzsche Date: Sat, 9 Dec 2023 00:52:42 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] docs: enhance nginx.conf to work with flask 3 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. --- README.rst | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) diff --git a/README.rst b/README.rst index 9bf0685..50fbf8e 100644 --- a/README.rst +++ b/README.rst @@ -65,6 +65,10 @@ The following Nginx configuration snippet is sufficient:: proxy_pass http://localhost:8337; # this statement forces Nginx to emulate "Range" responses proxy_force_ranges on; + # Prevent flask server from handling range requests. + # (flask does not fully support range requests) + proxy_hide_header "Accept-Ranges"; + proxy_set_header "Range" ""; } }
