Simple Plack script to serve contents of zip files through web server

I needed to make a web site that hosted a product catalog that let users download a zip file of all images in a line, but also see individual images. This script permits me to simply place the .zip files on the host, and then I can link directly to the images inside the zip file, rather than storing the large images twice on my small vps.
This is a very quick + dirty script. No effort is made to efficently send data from the decompressed archive to the client. This is not intended to be used on high-load sites.
Add this to your "server" section. Note on debian + ubuntu /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params is installed by the package manager, and includes some environment variables needed for FastCGI.
location ~ .zip/.*$ {
fastcgi_pass unix:/home/mystik/zipview/fcgi.sock;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /home/mystik/zipview/testroot$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_script_name;
include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
