Hi Everyone,,

What is really $request_body variable.

I had try a regex to match a client post body, but it doesn't seem to match anything..
I had added it to the Log file, and it seems to be alway empty.

Someone know something about it ?

Thanks

See http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxHttpCoreModule#.24request_body .

You need to be running nginx 0.7.58 or later.

Thanks for your feedback, I got the 0.8.5..

Do you understand what mean "The significance of this variable appears in locations with directives proxy_pass or fastcgi_pass. "

Here for example my configuration :

if ($request_body ~* "notwanted" ) {
return 403;
}

So by my understand, if in the post i got somewhere a string "notwanted" i should get a 403.

I would think so (I've never used it) but it would have to look something like:

[code]
location /foo {
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000
if ($request_body ~* "notwanted" ) {
return 403;
}
...
}
[/code]

or

[code]
location /foo {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080
if ($request_body ~* "notwanted" ) {
return 403;
}
...
}
[/code]

I'm sorry guys, here too it simply doesn't work.

Anyway thanks for trying to help me...anyone got another idea ?

I will try to debug / print this variable....

Sorry but this settings is empty.. I test with a POST ( wich contains Client Body data, so said Wireshark ;)

I had the following

location / {
proxy_pass http://restaunauts;
set $VALUE1 $request_body_file ;
set $VALUE2 $request_body ;
set $VALUE3 $remote_addr ;
}


Debug Gives :
