我在使用 Nginx + Unicorn + Rails 提供受保护资产 (PDF) 时遇到问题。问题是有时文件被正确发送，但有时 Nginx 返回 HTTP 500，尽管 Rails 日志看起来不错：
Started GET "/conferences/1/papers/18/download?api_key=1234567890" for 79.197.207.13 at 2013-06-13 18:55:17 +0200
Processing by V1::PapersController#download as JSON
Parameters: {"api_key"=>"TFA82XsDNovtzNFGxuKUpxYcvmMhzxxt", "conference_id"=>"1", "id"=>"18"}
Sent file /home/moritz/conferenceapp-server/public/uploads/papers/18/761.pdf (0.6ms)
Completed 200 OK in 11ms (ActiveRecord: 1.7ms)
Nginx：
130.149.22.46 - - [13/Jun/2013:18:55:25 +0200] "GET /conferences/1/papers/18/download?api_key=1234567890 HTTP/1.1" 500 5 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_8_4) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/27.0.1453.110 Safari/537.36"
PapersController 有一个成员操作下载，它只是发送 PDF（资产使用 Carrierwave 上传），因此控制器如下所示：
class V1::PapersController < V1::BaseController
def download
@paper = Paper.latest_import(current_conference).find(params[:id])
file = Pathname.new("./public#{@paper.file.url}").realpath.to_s
send_file file, :type => 'application/pdf'
end
end
Rails 配置为与 Nginx 一起使用，因此 sendfile 标头在以下位置正确设置production.rb：
config.action_dispatch.x_sendfile_header = 'X-Accel-Redirect'
我的主要 Ngnix 配置是非常标准的，对于该站点，它被配置为使用 Unicorn 作为上游服务器，我添加了一个额外的位置用于上传目录，使其不可浏览，但 Nginx 能够从该目录提供资产。
nginx.conf：
user moritz;
worker_processes 1;
error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log debug;
pid /var/run/nginx.pid;
events {
worker_connections 1024;
# multi_accept on;
}
http {
include /etc/nginx/mime.types;
access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;
sendfile on;
tcp_nopush on;
keepalive_timeout 65;
tcp_nodelay on;
gzip on;
gzip_http_version 1.1;
gzip_vary on;
gzip_comp_level 6;
gzip_proxied any;
gzip_types text/plain text/css application/json application/x-javascript text/xml application/xml application/xml+rss text/javascript applic$
gzip_buffers 8 16k;
gzip_disable "MSIE [1-6]\.(?!.*SV1)";
include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;
include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*;
}
站点配置：
upstream conference_app {
server unix:/home/moritz/conferenceapp-server/tmp/sockets/app.socket;
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name conference4.service.tu-berlin.de;
root /home/moritz/conferenceapp-server/public;
location ~ /uploads/(.*) {
internal;
default_type application/pdf;
alias /home/moritz/conferenceapp-server/public/uploads/$1;
}
location / {
# serve static files from defined root folder;.
# @conference_app is a named location for the upstream fallback, see below
try_files $uri $uri.json @conference_app;
default_type application/json;
gzip_static on;
}
# if a file, which is not found in the root folder is requested,
# then the proxy pass the request to the upsteam (gigflip unicorn)
location @conference_app {
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Sendfile-Type X-Accel-Redirect;
proxy_set_header X-Accel-Mapping /uploads/=/home/moritz/conferenceapp-server/public/uploads/;
proxy_pass http://conference_app;
}
}
由于来自 Nginx 的访问日志没有真正的帮助，我打开了调试日志，这就是 HTTP 500 情况下的日志的样子：
