Issue Error at save - unknown directive "secure_link" nginx module

Andr39

New Pleskian
I try to save via Plesk some nginx rules for a module (ngx_http_secure_link_module) and i receive an error. The rules work on an a test server without Plesk.

Plesk v. 12.5.30
Plesk > files.example.com > Apache & Nginx settings

I try to save this in textarea:
Code:
location /downloads/ {
	valid_referers none blocked server_names
	               *.example.com example.com;

	if ($invalid_referer) {
	    return 403;
	}

    secure_link $arg_st,$arg_e;
    secure_link_md5 "secret$uri$arg_e$remote_addr";

    root /var/www/vhosts/example.com/files.example.com;
    if ($secure_link = "") {
            return 403;
    }
    if ($secure_link = 0) {
            return 410;
    }

}

The error in red is
Code:
Invalid nginx configuration: nginx: [emerg] unknown directive "secure_link" in 
/var/www/vhosts/system/files.example.com/conf/vhost_nginx.conf:9 nginx: 
configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed
 
It sems the module is not enabled
