Hi, I have set up for NginxHttpMemcachedModule and it works great reading output that I have set to Memcached server through my OWN PHP code. But that means I have to modify my PHP code to make it happens and sometimes it is not easy if the code is third party. I really think it would be more beneficial if the NginxHttpMemcachedModule could set the generated PHP output into Memcached server. By doing so, I don’t have to modify PHP code to make it happen and it offers much better maintenance, using Nginx server as the Memcache (cluster) Proxy. Basically I need to be able to read PHP output from Memcached server: 1. If there is PHP output in the Memcached server given $uri, use it 2. If not, use fallback to the fastcgi or PHP-FPM 3. The generated PHP output of step 2 is set to the Memcached server BY NGINX TRANSPARENTLY (no PHP code change but just Nginx configuration) to the Memcached server so it can be read next time on step 1. I notice that there is another module call NginxHttpMemcModule. It seems that it could do the trick but I am not sure by looking at the configuration example in the wiki. Could someone provide some insight on this issue?

Here’s more examples on my slides: ``` http://agentzh.org/misc/slides/nginx-conf-scripting/nginx-conf-scripting.html#34 ``` Using your arrow keys on the keyboard to switch slides 🙂 It explains how to isssue various memcached commands and how to make it proxy to a memcached cluster by hashing a custom key.

Thank you Mr. Agentzh. I have tried it couple times and it still fails. I am quite sure it is related to my compilation and configuration. Since I am still experimenting with Nginx overall, so I think I am ok with proxy-cache for now as it is sufficient enough for my set up. Once I am more comfortable with Nginx I will revisit your memc and srcache modules. Much appreciate for all the great work you did for the Nginx development.
