NGINX Module - create variables‏

Server NGINX
1

Hi,

I would like to create a small module which execute some routines,
returns an NGX_OK, somewhat similar in concept to

However
I would like once the module executes to create variables such as
$my_var which would be accessible via config files to other blocks or to
the same location block.

I am aware of the “register_variable”
option, with “ngx_http_variable_t *var, *v;” - but the examples I have
seen so far, execute the module only once this variable is loaded in the
config file.

What I would like is being able to define a couple
of config variables once my module is loaded. Is this possible at all?
If so, could you point me to a sample/module which does this so I can
learn from it?

Many thanks,

Alex

You may try looking into the stub status module,
src/http/modules/ngx_http_stub_status_module.c. It defines
several variables ($connections_active, $connections_reading,
$connections_writing, $connections_waiting) and it’s easy enough
to follow.
