Thanks, that's handy to be aware of, but would still like to enquire as to why Nginx doesn't support such loadable modukes?
I don't see how that makes any harder (or more time consuming) when the modules are linked into the binary.
There is no need to always recompile the whole source as you can just delete the particular module *.o files files from objs/ (objs/addon/ if for third party modules) and then just do 'make' which will recompile those and relink into binary.
This way you can always do a live upgrade (kill -usr2/kill -quit) for the running process (or roll back to the old/prev binary) without the mess what involves dynamically (un)loading a module on the fly.
