@komabeyond Well, I didn't know nginx supports .htaccess files like apache httpd.

@agentzh well, actually it supports. could u make some tests and let echo can work in the .htaccess file ?

@komabeyond You mean some 3rd-party modules? I've been working on the nginx core for 7 years now and I never see such things in the standard nginx distributions, ever.

@agentzh Ah... I think may be we are not in the same topic now, so, let me paste my nginx config file and my .htaccess file down here, this will be show u how i used the .htaccess file in the nginx config file and then u will be know what i am talking about.

nginx config file contents:

server {
location / {
....
# work better
echo "hi, koma";
}
...
include "/path/to/htaccess/.htaccess";
}

.htaccess file contents:

location ~ /stream/view {
#not work
echo "hi, koma, see u again..";
}

Ha, that's really confusing.
So basically you must use the correct nginx syntax in the .htaccess file. That's why naming it like this is already misleading (as everybody else uses Apache syntax there).
In your case I would guess you do not need the RegExp location there and try location /stream/view { instead of location ~ /stream/view {. Don't know whether this fixes the problem, but it is a good thing to change in any way.

BTW: You can place code parts into newline/code/newline to show them nicely in Markdown here on GitHub.

Based on what you showed, the location directive in your .htaccess file isn't inside a server directive, but location directives must be inside server directives.
