Hello !

Iam wondering if there is any way to add a custom header/footer to the  
output of the STATUS page?

location /status { stub\_status on; }

I tried a couple of thigns but for some reason apparently it got  
ignored.

Alex

Can whatever will read this extra information, read it from a http  
header? add\_header would seem to be simplest.

You can always patch your source, if you can’t find another way to do  
what you want.
