I see, thanks for clarification. In this case as @rpaprocki mentioned already you can use https://github.com/openresty/lua-nginx-module#ngxsockettcp.On Thurs...

Lua ngx.var. setting to make proxy_cache dynamic

c0nw0nks

So with Nginx the following settings

http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_proxy_module.html#proxy_cache_background_update
http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_fastcgi_module.html#fastcgi_cache_background_update

But I don't see anywhere saying if we can make these variables dynamic in Nginx with Lua under conditions.

local enable = "lol"
if enable = nil then
ngx.var.

proxy_cache_background_update = "on"
end

Are we allowed to make these var's dynamic with ngx.var.* functionality or is there a different method i should be using ?
