Reading "Accept" header from module

Server NGINX
1

Is the “Accept” header content made available on the request struct
anywhere? Or if there is an easy way to grab it from the raw headers?

… defining NGX_HTTP_HEADERS seems to give me unpredictable results
when reading the data on request struct.

It should be in r->headers_in->accept. Please note that
NGX_HTTP_HEADERS have to be defined for the whole nginx build, not
just your module.

Alternatively, you may just lookup $http_accept variable via
ngx_http_get_variable(). This will work even without
NGX_HTTP_HEADERS defined (and will trigger logic in
ngx_http_variable_unknown_header_in() for arbitrary http header
lookup).

Enabling NGX_HTTP_HEADERS in the main build seems to give
me trouble… so I’ll have a go at fetching things via
ngx_http_get_variable

thanks.

You need to add

have=NGX_HTTP_HEADERS . auto/have

in your /config file.
