ngx_headers_static

Inject headers from a file when serving content.

This module is not distributed with the Nginx source.

Description

This module allows for the inclusion of arbitrary response headers from a static file for the corresponding content file being served, in a way reminiscent of CERN-style metafiles.

Limited validation is done on the included headers.

Header files should consist of headers in standard form:

X-Extra-Header: some data
X-Folded-Header: pre-folded header lines are
    also supported

Configuration

location /foo {
	# enable static header injection for a location
	static_headers on;

	# where to find header file, relative to content file
	static_headers_path .web; # default is .web directory

	# how are header files named
	static_headers_suffix .meta; # default is .meta

	# with these values set, a request for content.txt would include any
	# headers from .web/content.txt.meta
}
