Function to set headers_out

[golgote]

Hi (again),
I would like to know if you plan to add a way to set headers_out, for example header("Content-type : text/html") or ngx.request.headers_out["Content-type"] = 'text/html' ?
And maybe a way to access the request directly ?
Maybe the module is not planned to be used that way, please let me know.
Thanks.

Yes, this is also on our TODO list from day #1 :) This one has higher priority than the on-the-fly lua loading directive. But we'd love to see these get implemented before this Christmas ;)

Hi agentzh,
What do you prefer between ngx.header("Content-type : text/html") and :
ngx.header["Content-type"] = "text/html" or ngx.header.content_type = "text/html" ?

[agentzh]

We like the ngx.header["Content-Type"] = "text/html" form and we'd also like to see those standard response headers to have key alises like content_type ;)

Thanks!

I'm closing this because I've implemented ngx.header.HEADER = VALUE in Git HEAD.

Now both ngx.header.content_type = 'text/plain' and ngx.header['Content-Type'] = 'text/plain' work out of the box ;)

Have fun!

Thank you, I wouldn't have managed to do it as well as you did, given my lack of knowledge of nginx api. I'll review your changes to learn from them :)
