This module extends the standard HttpRewriteModule's directive set to provide more functionalities like URI escaping and unescaping, JSON quoting, Hexadecimal/MD5/SHA1/Base32/Base64 digest encoding and decoding, random number generator, and more!
Every directive provided by this module can be mixed freely with other ngx_http_rewrite_module's directives, like if and set. (Thanks to the Nginx Devel Kit!)
Directives
set_if_empty
syntax: set_if_empty $dst <src>
default: no
context: location, location if
phase: rewrite
Assign the value of the argument <src> if and only if variable $dst is empty (i.e., not found or has an empty string value).
In the following example,
set $a 32; set_if_empty $a 56;the variable $dst will take the value 32 at last. But in the sample
set $a ''; set $value "hello, world"
set_if_empty $a $value;$a will take the value "hello, world" at last.
set_quote_sql_str
syntax: set_quote_sql_str $dst <src>
syntax: set_quote_sql_str $dst
default: no
context: location, location if
phase: rewrite
category: ndk_set_var_value
When taking two arguments, this directive will quote the value of the second argument <src> by MySQL's string value quoting rule and assign the result into the first argument, variable $dst. For example,
location /test { set $value "hello\n\r'\"\\"; set_quote_sql_str $quoted $value; echo $quoted; }Then request GET /test will yield the following output
'hello\n\r\'\"\\'Please note that we're using echo-nginx-module's echo directive here to output values of nginx variables directly.
When taking a single argument, this directive will do in-place modification of the argument variable. For example,
location /test { set $value "hello\n\r'\"\\"; set_quote_sql_str $value; echo $value; }then request GET /test will give exactly the same output as the previous example.
This directive is usually used to prevent SQL injection.
This directive can be invoked by lua-nginx-module's ndk.set_var.DIRECTIVE interface and array-var-nginx-module's array_map_op directive.
set_quote_pgsql_str
syntax: set_quote_pgsql_str $dst <src>
syntax: set_quote_pgsql_str $dst
default: no
context: location, location if
phase: rewrite
category: ndk_set_var_value
Very much like set_quote_sql_str, but with PostgreSQL quoting rules for SQL string literals.
set_quote_json_str
syntax: set_quote_json_str $dst <src>
syntax: set_quote_json_str $dst
default: no
context: location, location if
phase: rewrite
category: ndk_set_var_value
When taking two arguments, this directive will quote the value of the second argument <src> by JSON string value quoting rule and assign the result into the first argument, variable $dst. For example,
location /test { set $value "hello\n\r'\"\\"; set_quote_json_str $quoted $value; echo $quoted; }Then request GET /test will yield the following output
"hello\n\r'\"\\"Please note that we're using echo-nginx-module's echo directive here to output values of nginx variables directly.
When taking a single argument, this directive will do in-place modification of the argument variable. For example,
location /test { set $value "hello\n\r'\"\\"; set_quote_json_str $value; echo $value; }then request GET /test will give exactly the same output as the previous example.
This directive can be invoked by lua-nginx-module's ndk.set_var.DIRECTIVE interface and array-var-nginx-module's array_map_op directive.
set_unescape_uri
syntax: set_unescape_uri $dst <src>
syntax: set_unescape_uri $dst
default: no
context: location, location if
phase: rewrite
category: ndk_set_var_value
When taking two arguments, this directive will unescape the value of the second argument <src> as a URI component and assign the result into the first argument, variable $dst. For example,
location /test { set_unescape_uri $key $arg_key; echo $key;
}Then request GET /test?key=hello+world%21 will yield the following output
hello world!
The nginx standard $arg_PARAMETER variable holds the raw (escaped) value of the URI parameter. So we need the set_unescape_uri directive to unescape it first.
Please note that we're using echo-nginx-module's echo directive here to output values of nginx variables directly.
When taking a single argument, this directive will do in-place modification of the argument variable. For example,
location /test { set $key $arg_key; set_unescape_uri $key; echo $key;
}then request GET /test?key=hello+world%21 will give exactly the same output as the previous example.
This directive can be invoked by lua-nginx-module's ndk.set_var.DIRECTIVE interface and array-var-nginx-module's array_map_op directive.
set_escape_uri
syntax: set_escape_uri $dst <src>
syntax: set_escape_uri $dst
default: no
context: location, location if
phase: rewrite
category: ndk_set_var_value
Very much like the set_unescape_uri directive, but does the conversion the other way around, i.e., URL component escaping.
set_hashed_upstream
syntax: set_hashed_upstream $dst <upstream_list_name> <src>
default: no
context: location, location if
phase: rewrite
Hashes the string argument <src> into one of the upstream name included in the upstream list named <upstream_list_name>. The hash function being used is simple modulo.
Here's an example,
upstream moon { ... } upstream sun { ... } upstream earth { ... } upstream_list universe moon sun earth; location /test { set_unescape_uri $key $arg_key; set $list_name universe; set_hashed_upstream $backend $list_name $key; echo $backend;
}Then GET /test?key=blah will output either "moon", "sun", or "earth", depending on the actual value of the key query argument.
This directive is usually used to compute an nginx variable to be passed to memc-nginx-module's memc_pass directive, redis2-nginx-module's [[HttpRedis2Module#redis2_pass]] directive, and ngx_http_proxy_module's proxy_pass directive, among others.
set_encode_base32
syntax: set_encode_base32 $dst <src>
syntax: set_encode_base32 $dst
default: no
context: location, location if
phase: rewrite
category: ndk_set_var_value
When taking two arguments, this directive will encode the value of the second argument <src> to its base32(hex) digest and assign the result into the first argument, variable $dst. For example,
location /test { set $raw "abcde"; set_encode_base32 $digest $raw; echo $digest;
}Then request GET /test will yield the following output
c5h66p35
Please note that we're using echo-nginx-module's echo directive here to output values of nginx variables directly.
RFC forces the [A-Z2-7] RFC-3548 compliant encoding, but we are using the "base32hex" encoding ([0-9a-v]) by default. The set_base32_alphabet directive (first introduced in v0.28)
allows you to change the alphabet used for encoding/decoding so
RFC-3548 compliant encoding is still possible by custom configurations.
By default, the = character is used to pad the left-over bytes due to alignment. But the padding behavior can be completely disabled by setting set_base32_padding off.
When taking a single argument, this directive will do in-place modification of the argument variable. For example,
location /test { set $value "abcde"; set_encode_base32 $value; echo $value;
}then request GET /test will give exactly the same output as the previous example.
This directive can be invoked by lua-nginx-module's ndk.set_var.DIRECTIVE interface and array-var-nginx-module's array_map_op directive.
set_base32_padding
syntax: set_base32_padding on|off
default: on
context: http, server, server if, location, location if
phase: no
This directive can control whether to pad left-over bytes with the "=" character when encoding a base32 digest by theset_encode_base32 directive.
This directive was first introduced in v0.28. If you use earlier versions of this module, then you should use set_misc_base32_padding instead.
set_misc_base32_padding
syntax: set_misc_base32_padding on|off
default: on
context: http, server, server if, location, location if
phase: no
This directive has been deprecated since v0.28. Use set_base32_padding instead if you are using v0.28+.
set_base32_alphabet
syntax: set_base32_alphabet <alphabet>
default: "0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuv"
context: http, server, server if, location, location if
phase: no
This directive controls the alphabet used for encoding/decoding a base32 digest. It accepts a string containing the desired alphabet like "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ234567" for standard alphabet.
Extended (base32hex) alphabet is used by default.
This directive was first introduced in v0.28.
set_decode_base32
syntax: set_decode_base32 $dst <src>
syntax: set_decode_base32 $dst
default: no
context: location, location if
phase: rewrite

syntax: set_encode_base64url $dst
default: no
context: location, location if
phase: rewrite
category: ndk_set_var_value

phase: rewrite
category: ndk_set_var_value
When taking two arguments, this directive will encode the value of the second argument <src> to its SHA-1 digest and assign the result into the first argument, variable $dst. The hexadecimal form of the SHA-1 digest will be generated automatically, use set_decode_hex to decode the result if you want the binary form of the SHA-1 digest.
For example,

set_random
syntax: set_random $res <from> <to>
default: no
context: location, location if
phase: rewrite
Generates a (pseudo) random number (in textual form) within the range [<$from>, <$to>] (inclusive).
Only non-negative numbers are allowed for the <from> and <to> arguments.
When <from> is greater than <to>, their values will be exchanged accordingly.
For instance,
location /test { set $from 5; set $to 7; set_random $res $from $to; echo $res;
}then request GET /test will output a number between 5 and 7 (i.e., among 5, 6, 7).
For now, there's no way to configure a custom random generator seed.
Behind the scene, it makes use of the standard C function rand().
This directive was first introduced in the v0.22rc1 release.
See also set_secure_random_alphanum and set_secure_random_lcalpha.
set_secure_random_alphanum
syntax: set_secure_random_alphanum $res <length>
default: no
context: location, location if
phase: rewrite
Generates a cryptographically-strong random string <length> characters long with the alphabet [a-zA-Z0-9].
<length> may be between 1 and 64, inclusive.
For instance,
location /test { set_secure_random_alphanum $res 32; echo $res;
}then request GET /test will output a string like ivVVRP2DGaAqDmdf3Rv4ZDJ7k0gOfASz.
This functionality depends on the presence of the /dev/urandom device, available on most UNIX-like systems.
See also set_secure_random_lcalpha and set_random.
This directive was first introduced in the v0.22rc8 release.
set_secure_random_lcalpha
syntax: set_secure_random_lcalpha $res <length>
default: no
context: location, location if
phase: rewrite
Generates a cryptographically-strong random string <length> characters long with the alphabet [a-z].
<length> may be between 1 and 64, inclusive.
For instance,
location /test { set_secure_random_lcalpha $res 32; echo $res;
}then request GET /test will output a string like kcuxcddktffsippuekhshdaclaquiusj.
This functionality depends on the presence of the /dev/urandom device, available on most UNIX-like systems.
This directive was first introduced in the v0.22rc8 release.
See also set_secure_random_alphanum and set_random.
set_rotate
syntax: set_rotate $value <from> <to>
default: no
context: location, location if
phase: rewrite
Increments $value but keeps it in range from <from> to <to>.
If $value is greater than <to> or less than <from> is will be
set to <from> value.
The current value after running this directive will always
be saved on a per-location basis. And the this saved value will be used
for incrementation when the $value is not initialized or has a bad value.
Only non-negative numbers are allowed for the <from> and <to> arguments.
When <from> is greater than <to>, their values will be exchanged accordingly.
For instance,
location /rotate { default_type text/plain; set $counter $cookie_counter; set_rotate $counter 1 5; echo $counter; add_header Set-Cookie counter=$counter;
}then request GET /rotate will output next number between 1 and 5 (i.e., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) on each
refresh of the page. This directive may be userful for banner rotation purposes.
Another example is to use server-side value persistence to do simple round-robin:
location /rotate { default_type text/plain; set_rotate $counter 0 3; echo $counter;
}And accessing /rotate will also output integer sequence 0, 1, 2, 3, 0, 1, 2, 3, and so on.
This directive was first introduced in the v0.22rc7 release.
set_local_today
syntax: set_local_today $dst
default: no
context: location, location if
phase: rewrite
Set today's date ("yyyy-mm-dd") in localtime to the argument variable $dst.
Here's an example,
location /today { set_local_today $today; echo $today;
}then request GET /today will output something like
2011-08-16
and year, the actual date you get here will vary every day ;)
Behind the scene, this directive utilizes the ngx_time API in the Nginx core, so usually no syscall is involved due to the time caching mechanism in the Nginx core.
set_formatted_gmt_time
syntax: set_formatted_gmt_time $res <time-format>
default: no
context: location, location if
phase: rewrite
Set a formatted GMT time to variable $res (as the first argument) using the format string in the second argument.
All the conversion specification notations in the standard C function strftime are supported, like %Y (for 4-digit years) and %M (for minutes in decimal). See http://linux.die.net/man/3/strftime for a complete list of conversion specification symbols.
Below is an example:
location = /t { set_formatted_gmt_time $timestr "%a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Y GMT"; echo $timestr;
}Accessing /t yields the output
Fri Dec 13 15:34:37 2013 GMT
This directive was first added in the 0.23 release.
See also set_formatted_local_time.
set_formatted_local_time
syntax: set_formatted_local_time $res <time-format>
default: no
context: location, location if
phase: rewrite
Set a formatted local time to variable $res (as the first argument) using the format string in the second argument.
All the conversion specification notations in the standard C function strftime are supported, like %Y (for 4-digit years) and %M (for minutes in decimal). See http://linux.die.net/man/3/strftime for a complete list of conversion specification symbols.
Below is an example:
location = /t { set_formatted_local_time $timestr "%a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Y %Z"; echo $timestr;
}Accessing /t yields the output
Fri Dec 13 15:42:15 2013 PST
This directive was first added in the 0.23 release.
See also set_formatted_gmt_time.
Caveats
Do not use $arg_PARAMETER, $cookie_COOKIE, $http_HEADER or other special variables defined in the Nginx core module as the target variable in this module's directives. For instance,
set_if_empty $arg_user 'foo'; # DO NOT USE THIS!may lead to segmentation faults.
Installation
This module is included and enabled by default in the OpenResty bundle. If you want to install this module manually with your own Nginx source tarball, then follow the steps below:
Grab the nginx source code from nginx.org, for example, the version 1.13.6 (see nginx compatibility), and then build the source with this module:
wget 'http://nginx.org/download/nginx-1.13.6.tar.gz'
tar -xzvf nginx-1.13.6.tar.gz cd nginx-1.13.6/ # Here we assume you would install you nginx under /opt/nginx/.
./configure --prefix=/opt/nginx \
--with-http_ssl_module \
--add-module=/path/to/ngx_devel_kit \
--add-module=/path/to/set-misc-nginx-module
make -j2
make installDownload the latest version of the release tarball of this module from set-misc-nginx-module file list, and the latest tarball for ngx_devel_kit from its file list.
Building as a dynamic module
Starting from NGINX 1.9.11, you can also compile this module as a dynamic module, by using the --add-dynamic-module=PATH option instead of --add-module=PATH on the./configure command line above. And then you can explicitly load the module in your nginx.conf via the load_moduledirective, for example,
load_module /path/to/modules/ndk_http_module.so; # assuming NDK is built as a dynamic module tooload_module /path/to/modules/ngx_http_set_misc_module.so;Also, this module is included and enabled by default in the OpenResty bundle.
Compatibility
The following versions of Nginx should work with this module:

Changes
The change logs for every release of this module can be obtained from the OpenResty bundle's change logs:
Test Suite
This module comes with a Perl-driven test suite. The test cases aredeclarative too. Thanks to the Test::Nginx module in the Perl world.
To run it on your side:
$ PATH=/path/to/your/nginx-with-set-misc-module:$PATH prove -r tYou need to terminate any Nginx processes before running the test suite if you have changed the Nginx server binary.
Because a single nginx server (by default, localhost:1984) is used across all the test scripts (.t files), it's meaningless to run the test suite in parallel by specifying -jN when invoking the prove utility.
Getting involved
