Nginx “push” module added
Support for the “push” module was added in the Nginx ebuild, with the USE=push flag.
This module can be used to turn nginx into a long-polling message queuing HTTP push server, which is great for Comet-based web applications by just making Nginx sit in front of your applications and letting it handle long-lived connections, which is a task which fits its event-based architecture well. Then you applications do not need to be asynchronous, and may be coded using more traditional techniques, as long as they post updates to clients using the a message queue which uses Nginx with this “push” module.
Make sure you get a peek at the documentation http://github.com/slact/nginx_http_push_module
Have a lot of fun...
