toggle gzip of response #258

Closed rkearsley closed 11 years ago

rkearsley commented 11 years ago

Hi

My current solution to this is to duplicate locations :( and add 'gzip on;' to them and then ngx.exec accordingly

It would be nicer if I could do something like 'ngx.var.gzip = "on"'

Is there another way?

Many thanks

I think the cheapest way to do something like that would be to modify the internal Nginx gzip module just a tiny bit to accept a variable input (evaluated at each request), instead of using a fixed toggle per location.

Hope this helps, Matthieu.

Yes, it's indeed the ngx_gzip module's duty to be more flexible here. There's not really anything that can be done on the ngx_lua side.
