nginx-link-function is a nginx module which provides dynamic linking to your application in server context and call the function of your application in location directive.You could direct link your C/C++ application (or any other which accept dynamic linking) to nginx server.
# nginx.conf

listen 8888;

}
}
server {

aio threads;

location = /testPost {
add_header Allow "GET, POST, HEAD" always;

sudo make installWhen first time configure this project, I purposely do not include this header, you may need to install it to your c header file as this header file need to share with your .so application as well.
install -m 644 /path/to/nginx-link-function/src/ngx_link_func_module.h /usr/local/include/This is the interface that you can use to get more details from nginx server, it all inside the ngx_link_func_module.h.
