Hi,  
I want to send a notification from Nginx to another remote server when  
the  
health of any configured upstream server changes. Is there any module  
available for this. I was able to get that working through “salt” , but  
I  
need something better,

Any suggestions??

Regards, Santos

What about Lua? I could image something with Lua-\>fastcgi sending a GET  
to  
another server via simple tcp with status information the other nginx  
server  
can act upon.

Is there a way I can do a HTTP POST from inside Nginx?
