dynamic routes (locations). Is it possible?

Hi,

For the project I'm working on, we have a need to have temporary URLs (nginx location URI) that are changed every hour. I was wondering if this is possible to do with Openresty. The location URI would be a truncation of Hash(time() + preshared_key).

Is it possible with nginx + lua (Openresty) to do this? I've been digging through the documentation and haven't come across anything that suggests this.

Thanks,

Vincent

Of course it is. Just have something like this:

https://github.com/bungle/iresty/blob/master/conf/locations.conf#L10-L12

And inside there, you can do whatever you like. for example something like this:

https://github.com/bungle/iresty/blob/master/site/bootstrap.lua#L11-L13

Replace that "=/" with "=/" .. Hash(time() + preshared_key).

That uses my yet to be refined lua-resty-route:

https://github.com/bungle/lua-resty-route

But you don't need that route thing. All you need is something like this:

if ngx.var.uri == Hash(time() + preshared_key) then

ngx.say "Here we are"

else

ngx.exit(ngx.HTTP_NOT_FOUND)

end

And that's all.
