I am using openresty as a proxy server, which may change response from upstream. Directive header_filter_by_lua* is executed before body_filter_by_lua*. But I changed Content-length in body_filter_by_lua*, and headers has been sent at that time.

So how to set correct Content-length when response from upstream is changed in body_filter_by_lua*?

Thank you!

From https://github.com/openresty/lua-nginx-module#body_filter_by_lua:

When the Lua code may change the length of the response body, then it is required to always clear out the Content-Length response header (if any) in a header filter to enforce streaming output, as in

 location /foo {
     # fastcgi_pass/proxy_pass/...

     header_filter_by_lua_block { ngx.header.content_length = nil }
     body_filter_by_lua 'ngx.arg[1] = string.len(ngx.arg[1]) .. "\\n"';
 }

I expect that nginx would use http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/rfc2616.html#chunked.transfer.encoding in this case (didn't test)

  • thanks，It works. And nginx does set Chunked Transfer Coding after I clear out the Content-Length response header (if any) in a header filter. – Gang Sun Jul 30 '17 at 08:03
