Implementation

Update the nginx.conf

lua_shared_dict my_locks 100k;
lua_package_path "lua/?.lua;../lua-resty-core/lib/?.lua;;";

resolver 8.8.8.8;

init_by_lua '
';

server {
    listen       0.0.0.0:80;
    server_name  _;

    header_filter_by_lua_file 'header_filter.lua';
    access_by_lua_file 'access.lua';

    location / {
        proxy_ssl_verify off;
        proxy_pass_header Server;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_pass http://$host:80;
    }
}
