Hello,

Does anyone know if nginx can calculate the md5 of a $request_uri string? I'd like to set the $memcached_key as the md5 of the request_uri when passing requests for cached content to my memcached instance.

In concept the directive might look like this;

location /testing { set $memcached_key $md5($request_uri); memcached_pass localhost:11211; }

Thanks!
