Hi,

You could try agentzh’s memc-nginx-module

maybe you can download from:  
[http://agentzh.org/misc/nginx/ngx\_openresty-1.0.4.1rc6.tar.gz](http://agentzh.org/misc/nginx/ngx_openresty-1.0.4.1rc6.tar.gz)

A sample configure get value from cookie A;

```
   location /foo {
        set $memc_key $cookie_A;

        # $memc_cmd defaults to get for GET,
        # add for POST, set for PUT, and
        # delete for the DELETE request method.

        memc_pass 127.0.0.1:11211;
    }

```

curl -b A=key [http://localhost/foo](http://localhost/foo)
