Hello all,

I made a debug html that displays some debugging information (additional  
nginx variables)… but Id also prefer to print along with the output  
produced by stub\_status . Is there anyway to do this?

Something like this doesnt appear to work:

location /static-test {  
default\_type text/html;  
stub\_status on;  
return 200 “test”  
}

it either prints my test, or if I comment it … it prints the status of  
nginx.

Regards,  
Sam

You can use SSI for this.

The following commit allows usage of stub\_status content handler  
from “#include virtual=…” SSI directive:
