I was trying to think of a hack day project, and one idea was to implement a blob server similar to Facebook's haystack. Facebook did their server with the evhttpd library, I was thinking of making it an nginx module. In order to make it work I'd need to have nginx send a range of bytes from a larger file as bytes 0..x of the requested object. Is there a capability to do that within Nginx?
I could only find one module that did something similar, and it copied the data it wanted to a seperate file before sending it. However, it was an old module so it might not represent the abilities of modern nginx.
