The <literal>ngx_http_f4f_module</literal> module provides
server-side support for Adobe HTTP Dynamic Streaming (HDS).
</para>

<para>
This module implements handling of HTTP Dynamic Streaming requests in the
“<literal>/videoSeg1-Frag1</literal>” form — extracting the needed fragment
from the <path>videoSeg1.f4f</path> file using the <path>videoSeg1.f4x</path>
index file.
This module is an alternative to the Adobe’s f4f module (HTTP Origin Module)
for Apache.
</para>

<para>
Usual pre-processing with Adobe’s f4fpackager is required, see relevant
documentation for details.
</para>
