At a high level, what am I missing / oversimplifying?
The problem is not at high level but at low level: you cannot put code
like this on a server, it's not a matter of writing two lines but to
test potential errors, to have clean configuration parameters and to
maintain the software...

Perfect! I just need the hook.
Some input from the list will be appreciated, I believe that such a
module will add value to Nginx but some time is needed in order to
fully evaluate the implications and the best implementation.
I think for this the embedded script language
(perl/neko/lua/python/your_preferd_lang;-) will be very helpfull :-)
Brainstorming:
1.) add hook into upstream module, maybe some other modules also ;-)
2.) use this hook in $EMBEDDED_SCRIPT (current only perl) to write into
$OUTPUT_THING (file/shm/...)
3.) use external program which monitor the $OUTPUT_THING
The benefit to use a embedded script language is that the user can write
some infos into the output string and some predefined variables from
nginx.
I know this is a lot of work but it could be a 100% solution ;-)
Cheers
Aleks
