lighttpd has a similar feature with an additional possibility to specify 
a timeout: http://redmine.lighttpd.net/wiki/lighttpd/Docs:ModSecDownload

The timeout would be a nice addition to nginx, because otherwise once 
someone has received the "secure link" he can pass it around to other 
people and it will never expire.
