Hello,
Would it be possible to extend this protocol:
http://wiki.codemongers.com/NginxImapCoreModule
with logout (connection closed, timeout, etc) events?
Something like this:
GET /close HTTP/1.0
Host: auth.server.hostname
Close-User: user
Close-Server: 192.168.1.10
Close-Port: 143
Close-Protocol: imap
Close-Cause:
logout|server_timeout|client_ssl_timeout|client_closed|server_closed|etc
Client-IP: 192.168.1.1
The main benefit would be that the authenticator application could build
a session table from live sessions, which is currently very hard to do.
This means after an authentication OK response is sent, nginx should
send a close event, no matter how the connection was lost (setting the
Close-Cause accordingly).
How would you distinguish between multiple sessions from the same
client? I guess you'd need a cookie set by the authenticator and sent by
nginx when the session ends.
There are internal (or not so internal, because they can be logged)
identifiers which could be used as a session ID, but valid point, it
should be sent too.
