I tried building ngx_http_auth_request_module as a dynamic module today and noticed that unfortunately at this moment *only* certain modules can be built as dynamic modules, namely [1][2]:
- ngx_http_geoip_module
- ngx_http_image_filter_module
- ngx_mail_{core, auth, imap, pop3, proxy, smtp, ssl}_module
- ngx_stream_{core, access, limit_conn, proxy, ssl, upstream}_module
- ngx_http_xslt_module
- ngx_http_perl_module

[1] https://www.nginx.com/blog/dynamic-modules-nginx-1-9-11/
[2] http://nginx.org/en/CHANGES-1.10

Therefore, my updated question is, would it be possible to enable building of ngx_http_auth_request_module directly into the nginx?

My patch is here: https://github.com/tjanez/nginx-package/commit/0ed16a4c6ec7bd8886219a284a7882c7dbc3cce6

Tim Niemueller proposed also enabling ngx_http_auth_request_module for EPEL 6 and 7 versions of nginx in 1471107 and 1471108.

Closing as a duplicate of a later independent report because the other one contains a patch. Let's lower the burden on the maintainer by reducing the number of tickets to get to the actual work, hopefully accepting the patch.

Agreed. Tim's for pushing this!
