Logging embedded Perl return value

Server NGINX
1

I’m testing the embedded perl module. Is it possible to log the return
value?

i.e. can I set $return to capture the return value of the handler in
this example?

log_format main ‘Return value is $return’;

access_log /path/to/access.log main;

server {
location / {
perl Module::handler;
}
}

The return value become a value of the $status variable.

Thanks for the speedy nginx and speedy reply Igor.

The $status value does indeed log the 200 response.

Is it possible to configure nginx to return custom http status codes?

e.g. use a 299 and 298 code that are interpreted as a 200 OK by a custom
http client. The last two digits would signal information that would
otherwise
have to be contained in a new header or body.

The attached patch allows to use any status code in the “return”
directive
and the perl module.
