Hi, I started experimenting the HTTP GEO Module and Memcached Module
from nginx, and have two questions:
1. HTTP GEO Module
in the http configuration, i added something like this to detect the
IP address of the client and store the country code in the $geo
variable.
geo $geo {
default US;
127.0.0.1/32 US;
10.1.0.0/16 UK;
......
}
But the question is how I can transfer the variable to the backend
Apache server and let the PHP script know about the $geo variable. I
understand that for fastcgi you can get $geo as a parameter, just like
this:
fastcgi_param GEO $geo;
However, for reverse_proxy to Apache, how can I pass the $geo variable
on to the Apache server and eventually the PHP script?
proxy_set_header X-Geo $geo;
It will available in Apache as HTTP_X_GEO.
2. Memcached Module
Using 0.5.9 version, I have succeeded in making the memcache module
query and fetch the key value stored in Memcached.
For example, if I set the key value in memcached in text format as
"whatever", nginx can query and get the value and feed it back to the
client browser. However, the question is: even if the text is valid
HTML, the browser still thinks it is data, not web pages, so it offers
me to download. I guess I need to set extra headers before the HTML in
order to make it work, but I cannot find any information on this.
Currently, as it was suggested you can use default_type directive only:
location ~* \.html$ {
memcached ...
default_type text/html;
}
I have plan to get headers from memcached if memcached response
has set some flag.
