Hi i was the one who mentioned the "X-LIGHTTPD-SID" feature @  
http://wiki.codemongers.com/NginxFeatureRequests webpage

i looked over proxy_hide_header and that doesnt do what is required

bascialy as an example i have a php script like so:

----------------------------------

<?php

$session_id = '1234567890';
$file       = '/tmp/10meg.file';

header( "X-LIGHTTPD-SID: $session_id );
header( "X-Accel-Redirect: $file");

?>

-----------------------------------


so therefore this script would send a test 10MB file to the client and the  
session_id would be logged into the access-log

this is an incredibly usefull feature as the logs can be parsed later to  
deduce how much bandwidth was used per session!
