access_by_lua vs content_by_lua

Hi,

I'm using lua script to perform some authorization before proxy passing the requests.

I see that we have two directives content_by_lua_block and access_by_lua_block but couldn't understand the exact differences between both.

Please help in understanding the differences between both and which directive best suits a scenario.

Thanks.

if you use proxy, you can only use `access_by_lua_block` do authorization. because proxy pass is the first module in `content phase`.

I have an example:

I need to use fastcgi_pass: php-fpm.sock to handle php files, and I want to add CORS headers, so I should use access_by_lua_block, not content_by_lua_block. Because latter will return response before php-fpm.sock could handle the request.
