For the "X-Accel-Redirect: /protected/iso.img" header line and
such configuration

location /protected/ {
     internal;
     root   /some/path;
}

nginx will send /some/path/protected/iso.img

If you need to send /some/path/iso.img to should set

location /protected/ {
     internal;
     alias   /some/path/;
}

By the way, how can I edit this wiki ?
