Hi,What if we abort current running filter chain on yield and start a fresh chain after resume with transformed body?Am I missing something?Thank you,Srihari...

ngx_lua and timers

brian

I looked through the C code in nginx and timers seem fairly straight
forward there.  Is there any magic I'm missing to implement them in
ngx_lua?  I was thinking just simple Lua functions could be scheduled
for now.  May can look at socket stuff later.

Basically we just need to mock a ngx_http_request_t object to get most
of the existing APIs work (including cosockets).

Patches are welcome as always :)

I'll see how far I get.
We want to do this in ngx_lua or as a different module?

If we *can* do it in a separate nginx C module to extend ngx_lua from
the outside, then I will be more than happy ;)

But if you have problems due to the current ngx_lua design, I'm also
totally fine with patching ngx_lua directly for now :)

The long term goal is indeed to split ngx_lua into pieces and keep the
ngx_lua core minimal. But I'm not really there yet :P

Thanks!
