Tracking the start and complete of a download?

[Robert La Ferla]

  How could I configure nginx so that when a download is started and 
when it completes, it makes a HTTP GET request to another web server?

e.g.

1.  User requests http://nginx.com/download/file.zip?data=123456   (the 
filename and some additional getargs)
2.  nginx calls 
http://myotherserver.com/downloadStarted?url=/download/file.zip&data=123456   
(passes the original url with getargs)
3.  nginx serves byte-range requests of file.zip to user
4.  nginx determines that all byte-range requests have been served and 
calls 
http://myotherserver.com/downloadCompleted?url=/download/file.zip&data=123456 
(passes the original url with getargs)
