+Stream JavaScript module
±-----------------------
+
+Each Stream JavaScript handler receives one argument - stream
session object.
+

  • function foo(s) {
  •    ..
    
  • }

+The following properties are available in the session object:
+

  • - remoteAddress
    
  • - variables{}
    
  • - log()
    

+Example nginx.conf:
+

  • worker_processes 1;
  • pid logs/nginx.pid;
  • events {
  •    worker_connections  256;
    
  • }
  • stream {
  •    # include JavaScript file
    
  •    js_include js-stream.js;
    
  •    server {
    
  •        listen 8000;
    
  •        # create $foo and $bar variables and set JavaScript
    
  •        # functions foo() and bar() from the included JavaScript
    
  •        # file as their handlers
    
  •        js_set $foo foo;
    
  •        js_set $bar bar;
    
  •        return $foo-$bar;
    
  •    }
    
  • }

+js-stream.js:
+

  • function foo(s) {
  •    s.log("hello from foo() handler!");
    
  •    return s.remoteAddress;
    
  • }
  • function bar(s) {
  •    var v = s.variables;
    
  •    s.log("hello from bar() handler!");
    
  •    return "foo-var" + v.remote_port + "; pid=" + v.pid;
    
  • }
