Sorry for my confusion, but can you explain a bit more what Igor
plans? Will we
be able to embed script directly into nginx.conf? Is mod_rewrite
going away in
favor of http_script_module?
Currently I want to replace ngx_http_rewrite_module with
ngx_http_script_module only. I want to remove the "rewrite" directive,
disable all static directives inside the "if" blocks, and leave only
assignments, flow control, and some special directives as
proxy_pass and
fastcgi_pass inside "if" blocks.
And when would the script block? Would it be accessing disk or the
network to
get configuration? It might be nice especially for large sites to
store
configuration information in an external file or database, and
then access it
with an embedded script.
Non-blocking behaviour means that evaluating $forbidden variable for
if ($forbidden) {
return 403;
}
may include long query to remote site, and script VM should understand
EAGAIN result when asks for variable, then it should return control
to nginx, and then re-ask variable when it will be available and
continue to execute the script code.
This sounds very interesting, can you tell us what VM's and embeded
languages you are considering? ANd you are saying that rewrite will
be gone and replaced with scripts in this embeded lang?
