I want to enable the definition of custom environment variables in mod_wsgi.

After a quick search in Nginx sources I have found the env directive and the ngx_set_environment function.

Unfortunately the documentation is in Russian only http://sysoev.ru/nginx/docs/ngx_core_module.html#env.

I have found some problems with this directive. - It seems that it is not possible to inherit enviroment variables from the "system"; only variables defined with env directive are added to os environment - The syntax should be env VAR|VAR=VALUE, but, as an example, env MALLOC_OPTIONS; does not put MALLOC_OPTIONS in the environment.

"env VAR" inherits VAR from initial environment. However, some variables affects before nginx will remove from or add to new environment.
