Hello,

Any plans to integrate the HeadersMore module  
([Headers More | NGINX](http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpHeadersMoreModule))  
to standard nginx?

It’s a very handy tool… especially when you need to modify headers for  
responses like 401.  
Just trying to minimize the amount of custom-rpm-building for me 😉

Thanks,

– Pasi

We build our own packages using openresty as a base. Even if openresty,  
for example, was all in core, we’d still build our own packages. I’m  
sure others would as well. For us, it’s a simple shell script that does  
the builds for us, so not a ton of work anyway.

Digression:

That’s one reason I’m not worried about nginx’s lack of “dynamic”  
modules - we’d have to build the modules anyway which would be about as  
much work as rebuilding nginx, so not really a huge win for us. We do a  
good bit of our nginx work in Lua nowadays (thanks agentzh and  
chaoslawful!)
