Add / Modify Post Variable in nginx sub request

maanas

Hi there,

I m trying to issue a POST request to a endpoint. I want to modify and add POST variables in the request. I m unable to achieve the same. Can this be done. I tried method = ngx.HTTP_POST but it does not works.

Thanks

I was able to get this working not sure whether it is correct

ngx.location.capture('/test', {method = ngx.HTTP_POST, body="from=maanas%40maanas.co&to=m4manas%40gmail.com&subject=This%20is%20test%20mail%20from%20nginx%22&text=This%20is%20great%20mail%20send%20from%20nginx%20subrequets%0A"})

Your sample code looks good to me. You may also want to set a proper
Content-Type request header for your POST subrequest :)

When in doubt, please refer to the official documentation:

    http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpLuaModule#ngx.location.capture
