Request: api to get real server name

[whatvn]

Hello @agentzh ,

Thank you for this awesome module and also lua-nginx-module.
I've been trying to work with lua-upstream-nginx-module to create a redirect model inside nginx configuration, in that model, I would like to redirect user to backend address using 301 or 302 response instead of proxy-ing them.

Now I am able to redirect user, all is ok except nginx resolves backend address into ip address which is not necessary in my case.

For example I have configuration below:

upstream {
     server abc.com;
     server def.com
} 

When using upstream-nginx-module, I want to be able to get_upstream_name() will return name=abc.com instead of IP addresses of abc.com.

is it possible? Can you make that api available?

Thanks,

[agentzh]

@whatvn Yes, it's possible. And I've implemented it in commit 57cdbce.

Excellent, now everything works well.
I put this model here : https://github.com/whatvn/nginx_redirect_balancer 👍

Thank @agentzh!
