Is it possible to configure NGINX to serve static according to sessions in Apache?

Question

Nginx

There is a standard configuration:
NGINX, which gives the static, followed by Apache + PHP, which processes requests.
(statics are not only regular js/css/png, but also multi-megabyte archives).
I would like to be able to give access to files on NGINX in accordance with sessions in Apache.
For example, setting up session storage in general memcached and writing logic for NGINX in lua?

Answer 1

As I understand it, the task is as follows: depending on the user's access, let him download the file. Those. if there is access, he can download the file, if not, he cannot, and if the rights are taken away, then he can no longer download the file.
Try - X-Accel

This allows you to handle authentication, logging or whatever else you please in your backend and then have NGINX handle serving the contents from redirected location to the end user, thus freeing up the backend to handle other requests. This feature is commonly known as X-Sendfile.
