If you would like to build using the latest beta

NPS_VERSION=latest-beta

wget http://nginx.org/download/nginx-${NGINX_VERSION}.tar.gz
tar zxfv nginx-${NGINX_VERSION}.tar.gz

wget http://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/LibreSSL/libressl-${LIBRESSL_VERSION}.tar.gz
tar zxfv libressl-${LIBRESSL_VERSION}.tar.gz
cd libressl-${LIBRESSL_VERSION}
cd ~/buildnginx

Optionally you can use openssl instead of libressl.

wget https://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-${OPENSSL_VERSION}.tar.gz
tar zxfv openssl-${OPENSSL_VERSION}.tar.gz

wget https://github.com/openresty/headers-more-nginx-module/archive/v${HEADERS_VERSION}.tar.gz -O headers_more-${HEADERS_VERSION}.tar.gz
tar zxfv headers_more-${HEADERS_VERSION}.tar.gz
