Building Nginx for Owncloud and Windows

The reason is to get digest authentication, so that I can use Windows 7 as a WebDAV client.

So far this is a FAIL.

  1. I cannot convince Windows to store a self-signed certificate.
  2. I can't get digest authentication to work with owncloud.

If I did succeed then I would need a Docker container so that I can load it in the Synology server.

Windows is a pain.

cd nginx-1*
./configure --add-module=../nginx-http-auth-digest/ --with-http_ssl_module --with-cc-opt=-Wno-error
