Anyway, a quick question:
I am using NGINX as an HTTP (reverse) proxy, and I need to conditionally
redirect some URLs to an external FASTCGI server.
I have read the HTTP rewrite module documentation at
http://wiki.codemongers.com/NginxHttpRewriteModule and I see that there are ways
to conditionally rewrite certain URLs.
I wonder if there is any complete set of NGINX variables ( A sort of NGINX
variable reference ) that I can refer to ?
The reason I ask for such a reference is, because the conditions for a rewrite,
in my case, are rather complicated.
The most of nginx variables has the same names as in Apache.
http://wiki.codemongers.com/NginxHttpCoreModule#variables
For instance, I should like to say:
. If URL begins with /xxxx/ AND if the HTTP method is POST, AND if there is no
cookie named CCCC in the HTTP header, then redirect the url to /abc/def/
otherwise let it fall through to the default handler.
The ngx_http_rewrite_module currently has many limits and drawbacks.
You may try the following:
location /xxxx/ {
set $test "";
if ($request_method = POST) {
set $test P;
}
if ($http_cookie ~* "CCCC=.+(?:;|$)" ) {
set $test ${test}C";
}
if ($test = PC) {
fastgci_pass ...;
}
# you have to set fastcgi_param at this level,
# however, it does not mean that request goes to fastcgi
fastcgi_param ...;
fastcgi_param ...;
fastcgi_param ...;
