oh ... lua might be used to manipulate every single phase of a request coming to and processed by nginx; so a swiss army knife super-extended version :) some stuff to skim through to get an impression: - https://github.com/openresty/lua-nginx-module#typical-uses - http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpLuaModule in your case i'd say the cleanest way would be a reengineering of your application; the other way would imply a full regex on every request coming back from your app-servers to filter out those stuff that already has been send. the problem: appservers like tomcat/jboss/rails a.s.o. usually send full html-pages; if you find a way to just send the <body> itself, the rest like sending html-headers early from cache seems easy: location /blah { content_by_lua ' ngx.say(html_header) local res = ngx.location.capture("/get_stuff_from_backend") if res.status == 200 then ngx.say(res.body) end ngx.say(html_footer) '; } do you refer to something similar to this? https://github.com/bigpipe/bigpipe > > > from what i understand you have a "static" part that should get send > > early/from > > cache and a "dynamic" part that must wait for the backend? > > Exactly. > > Cheers, > Martin > > > the only solution i could think of in such an asynchronous delivery > > is using nginx + lua, or maybe varnish (iirc you yould mark parts of > a > > page cacheable, but dont know if you can deliver asynchronously > though) > > > > > > > > regards, > > > > > > mex > > > > Posted at Nginx Forum: > http://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,251717,251719#msg-251719 > > > > _______________________________________________ > > nginx mailing list > > nginx@nginx.org > > http://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx > _______________________________________________ > nginx mailing list > nginx@nginx.org > http://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx Posted at Nginx Forum: http://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,251717,251722#msg-251722 _______________________________________________ nginx mailing list nginx@nginx.org http://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx
