I have used the rewrite map stuff in Apache, and I know in Apache you
can
load a key / value pair list from a text file. I had assumed looking at
the
examples on the Wiki that the values needed to be included with the
configuration, but then I noticed that at the end of the Wiki page on
the
Nginx Map Module there was this:
include — the maps will be included from a file, or even from multiple
files
when using wildcards.
How does this work? I was hoping someone with some experience can
elaborate
on this feature, as I was unable to find additional information on this.
So can the values actually be pulled from a file instead?
What type of file, what format?
If the map file is updated, does Nginx need to be restarted for the
changes to take effect?
I apologize if these questions have already been answered somewhere, I
searched and searched and only found that single reference to the
“include”
support in the Map Module.

It’s just include of configuration chunk. If it’s updated - it’s
effectively updated configuration, and you should instruct nginx
to reload configuration as usual via SIGHUP.
I am no expert, but I looked at the nginx source and I saw this in the
map
module code:
return ngx_conf_parse(cf, &file);
and some other references to a file.
So are you saying that we can use the include command from the main
module
to include a file defining a map, or does the Map module have its own
include functionality?
Thanks,
John
