NGINX: How to register phase handler in the request processing flow after a specific standard NGINX module callback?
Hi, as we know NGINX HTTP request passes through a sequence of phases like NGXHTTPPOSTREADPHASE and so on and many standard nginx modules register their phase handlers as a way to get called at a specific stage of request processing.
Now, we can build our own module and hook at any phase by doing something like:
h = ngxarraypush (& cmcf-> phases[NGXHTTPCONTENT_PHASE].handlers);
- h = ngxhttphellohandler;
where cmcf-> phases [NGXHTTPCONTENTPHASE].handlers is an array of handlers for the content phase. This registers our handler in the end of the array.
As multiple modules can register their handlers at a single phase, I am developing a module which needs to register its handler in a specific phase and also after a specific standard nginx module call-back in the array i.e. if ngxhttprealipmodule registers its handler at NGXHTTPPOSTREAD_PHASE, i want my handler to hook after this particular module in the sequence.
What would be the best approach to proceed with the same?
