Methods for using LUA scripts in Nginx _nginx

Lua is a language very much like JavaScript, Ngix_lua also uses asynchronous single-threaded, syntax is even simpler than JS, before the evaluation that Ngix_lua performance is almost one times the node.js.

Nginx Features

1. The popular high-performance HTTP server
2. Event-driven (asynchronous) architecture
3. Small and measurable memory footprint
4. Declarative configuration language
5. Scalable modules based on C

You can start the Lua script on Nginx by Lua-nginx-module.

An example:

Copy Code code as follows:

Location/{
Content_by_lua '
Local res = ngx.location.capture ("/sub")
If Res.status >= Then
Ngx.exit (Res.status)
End
Ngx.status = Res.status
Ngx.say (Res.body)
';
}
location/sub {
echo "Hello, sub-request!";
}
