Much like many things in nginx, ngx_list_t structure is an append-only structure, and it is expected to be used as a list of items being added. Most notably, ngx_list_t is used for request headers (these are added to the list when they are parsed), and response headers (these are added when they are generated internally). If you have to remove an item for some reason (which shouldn't be common case for legitimate usage, but might happen to be needed occasionally), the common approach is to use a "skip" flag in the structures being listed. For example, response headers are cleared by setting the "hash" field to 0, so such headers are ignored by the code iterating over the list. If you need something more dynamic in your code, ngx_list_t might not be the right structure to use. Something like ngx_queue_t or ngx_rbtree_t might be a better choice. -- Maxim Dounin http://mdounin.ru/ _______________________________________________ nginx mailing list nginx@nginx.org https://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx _______________________________________________ nginx mailing list nginx@nginx.org https://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx
