Disable access log escaping

Server NGINX
1

Hi,

I’m using a module which sets some data formated as json to a variable.
I’m
trying to log this variable using the access log, but the content is
escaped. I’m getting something like {\x22foo\x22:\x22bar\x22} instead of
{‘foo’:‘bar’}.

Is there a way to disable the escaping per access_log or per log_format?

\x22 should correspond to ".
’ would correspond to \x27, but I don’t think that is escaped (I didn’t
look at the newest source).

Anyway…

I don’t believe so (using only nginx configuration). It will probably be
easier for your log-reading code to unescape the four characters
starting
“\x” before further processing.
