The "log_subrequest on|off" allows to log subrequests in access_log.

The ngx_http_secure_link_module allows to create a secure link as
/prefix/hash/link, where

1) prefix is any symbols expect "/";
2) hash is md5(link, secret),
   the secret is set by secure_link_secret directive;
3) and link is some link to secure.

Example:

     location /p/ {
         secure_link_secret  some_secret;

         if ($secure_link = "") {
             return 403;
         }
     }

The $secure_link variable is equal to a link if a hash is valid,
otherwise it is "".
