Thanks Valentin. Your suggestion sounds promising. However, I'm sorry,
but I'm not that familiar with the nginx configuration rules. How do I
point it in the location directive to my php script (which is
timthumb.php) ?

I tried something like this, but it doesn't seem to work... I'm getting
an empty response unfortunately.


        location ~ (*UTF8)^/imgthumb/(.*)$ {
                fastcgi_pass    unix:/var/spool/phpfpm.sock;
                fastcgi_param   SCRIPT_FILENAME   
$document_root/timthumb.php;
                fastcgi_param   SCRIPT_NAME        /timthumb-orig.php;
                fastcgi_param   QUERY_STRING $1;
        }
