I have a requirement for HTTP request filter. Whenever I receive a HTTP request this filter module should read the request and does some internal statistical work, it doesn't manipulate the request page nor creates response page. It just need to peep into request that's it. After this filter module, nginx HTTP server should continue to process the request and serve the response to user. Can we do it without a proxy handler, because nginx serves the responses directly here.
I think this is a perfect use case for the rewrite_by_lua or access_by_lua directives provided by the ngx_lua module. See
http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpLuaModule
You can read and modify the request URI, query args, or even request bodies in your Lua code and save the statistical results in the shm-based dictionary (shared_dict) provided by ngx_lua or issue a subrequest from within Lua to internal locations configured by ngx_memc or ngx_redis2 via the ngx.location.capture API.
Because LuaJIT 2.0 is so light and so fast, this setting can achieve performance comparable with an Nginx C module and also provide scripting flexibility :)
