Get Simple on NGINX Security

[Zegnåt]

[I]t seems GetSimple is not really secure on nginx server. GetSimple relies on .htaccess to protect a folder. But .htaccess is not nginx friendly and it will not work.

Let me first say that it isn’t that GetSimple is insecure on nginx server software, it was just never made for it or tested to run on it. There is a difference there. It is like saying a program is a virus because it can mess up your Windows computer, even when the program was made to be run on Mac computers only.

With that out of the way, different users have been trying to get it to work on nginx. marrco has even published his configuration file which includes URL rewrites, and caching. It also includes XML access blocking:

Code:

location ~* \.xml$           { deny all; }
