Hi,

I need to block requests that are made in a specific time range as long as it's not an exclusion like in the pseudo code below.

I know that perl module is not allowed to be called inside "if" block and there is no possibility to pass arguments to perl block from location or vice versa.

Any help would be appreciated..

location {
..
if (true){
set $block_request 1
}

perl req_time_control::handler $block_request;

}

R.

It took a long time to reach the info below.. I think it could have documented better in official page of the module..


#nginx.conf

set $variable_name "xxxx";

#perl
my $value = $r->variable('variable_name');
