Hi.
I have written a module that make available some “undeclared” variables,
using the same method used for http_, sent_http_ and
upstream_http_ variables.
These variables have prefix cookie_ and args_.
As an example:
$cookie_name
returns the value of the cookied named “name”.
Unfortunately, my module does not works without a patch to nginx (the
patch is attached.
The patch is very simple: instead of returning an error when an “unknow”
variable is seen, it first checks if it has a get_handler attached.
These variables are still “second class citizen”, since they are not
supported by the ngx_http_get_variable function (this function is
used by the SSI module, and may be used by a perl handler).
This is not a problem; moreover I can add directives for explicitly
declare these variables:
parsed_cookie_set name;
will add the cookie_name variable.
Igor, what I would like to know is if the patch is correct and if it is
possible to have it integrated in nginx.
Thanks Manlio P.
