Nginx Directory Listing - Restrict by IP Address

[PRAJITH]

Hi Satish,

There are "if" constructs in nginx, please check http://nginx.org/r/if. if
you want to allow multiple IP addresses, it might be better idea to use
map. eg:

map $remote_addr $allowed {
    default         0;
    1.1.1.1         1;
    2.2.2.2         1;
}

and then in in the download location block

 if ($allowed = 1) {
        autoindex on;
}

Thanks,
Prajith
