Hi  
Is it possible to trigger an X-Accel-Redirect from within lua code?

Example:

location /  
{

# lua code should trigger X-Accel-Redirect to either location1 or

location2? Somehow??  
access\_by\_lua\_file /home/nginx/conf/nginx.lua;

# if it hasn’t set X-Accel-Redirect, proxy to some other server -

important  
proxy\_pass [http://10.0.0.2](http://10.0.0.2);  
}

location /location1 {  
internal;  
root /var/www/loc1;  
}

location /location2 {  
internal;  
root /var/www/loc2;  
}
