The whole nginx.org repository is public (see "Source Code" section): http://nginx.org/en/download.html Also, you can explore it online: http://trac.nginx.org/nginx/browser/nginx_org Please note that http://nginx.org/en/docs/ has documentation for nginx f/oss and nginx-plus, our commercial product under commercial license. The features available in nginx-plus only have an appropriate note in the documentation. > * would there be interest to include a man page into the distribution > once it's ready? I think it's a good idea while we manage to keep a single source for both nginx.org docs and man page. -- Maxim Konovalov http://nginx.com _______________________________________________ nginx mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx
