Hi,
I am writing a nginx proxy module and want to grab the url which is
urlencoded (as the client sends it) and also after rewrite rules are
applied. My typical url looks like :
path1/path2/path3/urlencoded(key)?args, after rewriting the url I would
love to have is something like :
newpath1/newpath2/newpath3/…/urlencoded(key)?args.
Currently , r->uri is decoded rewritten uri, r->unparsed_uri is encoded
but not rewritten.
I read on the forum that nginx decodes the url for rewrite, is there a
handy internal function I can use encode the rewritten url back. A
simple use of ngx_escape_uri(r->uri) with different parameters doesn’t
do what I want out of the box.
Thanks,
Jayadev
I am not providing a direct answer but could not you use some standard
modules to do that?
Such as using (examples):

The ngx_escape_uri(r->uri) is the internal function you should
use if you need encoded URI.
If in doubt, try looking, e.g., into the ngx_http_proxy_create_request()
function to see how it’s done there.

The problem is ngx_http_proxy doesn’t do that either, once rewrite is
applied the url remains decoded (or I am not reading the code
correctly). In fact escaping uri back is a bit tricky since you have to
split the rewritten url to segments and apply encoding again (which
would require looking at the original url to know the correct number of
'/'s).
Anybody had attempted doing something like this ? or is there an easier
way.

The proxy does ngx_escape_uri() if URI was rewritten. It has to,
as unencoded URI can’t be used in a HTTP request. Take a look at
the ngx_http_proxy_create_request() function as previously
suggested.
In fact escaping uri back is a bit tricky
since you have to split the rewritten url to segments and apply
encoding again (which would require looking at the original url
to know the correct number of '/'s).
As long as there were encoded slashes, the encoding of these
slashes will be lost if URI was rewritten. This is the expected
behaviour.
