Hi All,

To start with, here's some context. From what i've read around, the post_action directive is to be used with caution. I was able to find this information following the link from this post: https://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,262008,262012#msg-262012

I also found documentation on the directive in this book: ISBN: 9781785280337. Although it's no where to be found in the official documentation, the directive is supported and is working well for what I need to do.

I need to use this directive to send some bandwidth information to my backend after a file download.

1- I'm wondering, is this directive officially deprecated and if, so is there something in the pipeline to replace it?
2- Looking at the nginx tracker (https://trac.nginx.org), I only found 1 issue (#1237) still opened that actually relate to post_action. Did I miss something?
3- What alternative do I have to post_action if basically, all I want to do is perform an additional action in the backend following a file download.

Cheers!
