How to serve some static content using OpenResty

aryajur

Hi,

I am very new to OpenResty . I am trying to serve some static protected content. Once the authentication is done I am mapping a URL to static content files on the server, they are html, images, scripts, audio, video files, etc. How can I serve a file from the Lua code? The content should not be available directly and only through the Lua code. I thought about ngx.location.capture but that I think captures a location that is also accessible directly?

Thanks!

You could use 'internal' inside the location block to deny external access. ngx.location.capture() will still have access since it is making a subrequest.
