Me neither. If only there were some sort of platform where we could post questions like this and, with the help of others in a community, figure it out. 😛

Hi @mandyk
We found out some code changes with `Rack::Sendfile` required explicit enabling of `X-Accel-Redirect` in the middleware when [bumping](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/db67a0841e8e14ae70de0890441f8158c50ae3c9) from v2.2.19-v2.2.20.
The [fix](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/36279) was just merged and is now in `latest`

Sorry all, had to revert this for some local log failures. Will have the non-broken fix up on Monday

Apologies that Monday became Wednesday, the fix without broken logs is now in `latest` again
