nginx 1.4.7 hangs on requests with eval

[tereska]

Nginx is compiled only with this module. I've downloaded module from: http://www.grid.net.ru/nginx/download/nginx_eval_module-1.0.1.tar.gz And it hangs on request.

worker_processes  1;
error_log  logs/error.log  info;

events {
    use epoll;
    worker_connections 1024;
    multi_accept on;
}

http {
    include       mime.types;
    default_type  text/plain;
    sendfile        on;
    keepalive_timeout  5;

    server {
        listen 80;
        server_name test.local;

        location / {

            eval $res {
                proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
                proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8081/check;
            }

            if ($res = 'spam') {
                return 401;
            }
            if ($res != 'spam') {
                return 404;
            }
        }

    }

}

I can see communication with my upstream server:

Request and response are OK but after that nothing happend. Request hangs...

From port 80 perspective I have:

010.000.002.002.54814-010.000.002.015.00080: GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: test.local

Accept-Language: pl,en-US;q=0.7,en;q=0.3

Connection: keep-alive
Cache-Control: max-age=0

And after couple of seconds connection is closed.

Help me. Thanks!

Same problem. I can read headers, and query parameters, but when I try to read the request body on the remote side with my Aiohttp server (await self.request.json() for example), request hangs.

As for me, it happens because nginx didn't read the request body yet. This is exactly why we use lua_need_request_body on; in ngx_lua module. Though, I don't know how to say to eval module to read the body in advance.
