Wordpress woocommerce and x-accel-redirect for downloadable product

Hi guys,

anyone was success with x-accel-redirect setup? I need to serve some digital product as download. I migrate a shop from apache to nginx (redis cache). With apache and X-sendfile was easy, now i really can't figure out what is wrong with nginx.. i always get ERR_INVALID_RESPONSE.

I partially solved removing

Code (Text):

location ~* ^/(wp-content)/(.*?)\.([B]zip[/B]|gz|tar|bzip2|7z)$ { deny all; }

from wpsecure_domain.com.conf
X-Accel-Redirect is now serving the downloads but the woocommerce path /wp-content/uploads/woocommerce_uploads/ is now free to everyone and not protected anymore.
It seems that woocommerce php code is not really redirecting the downloads...
I read some needed tweak on domain.com.conf

Code (Text):

location /protected/ {
 internal;
 root   /some/path/wp-content/uploads/woocommerce_uploads;
}

but at this point you need to hard code woocommerce plugin. Can't be the solution.
Anyone faced it?

 

Solved. Now X-Accel-Redirect serves the downloads with nginx (redis cache) and the original files path is safely protected.
I modified this line in wpsecure_domain.com.conf

Code (Text):

location ~* ^/(wp-content)/(.*?)\.(gz|tar|bzip2|7z)$ { deny all; }

removing zip extension because my digital goods are mainly zipped archives.
Then i added a new location (it can be placed in wpsecure too), the instruction "internal" gives 404 error to unwanted requests from outside, not "alias" needed since woocommerce php code will manage it.

Code (Text):

location ~* /wp-content/uploads/woocommerce_uploads/ {
internal;
    include /usr/local/nginx/conf/php-rediscache.conf;
}

and nginx is really faster than apache with X-Sendfile.

 

Unfortunately placing back "zip" in wpsecure and using that setup for location i'm getting ERR_INVALID_RESPONSE.
