Yes, i can provide a snippet. In the end i have decided to abandon the project
of doing it in configuration. It is extremely hard to try and write imperative
code in a declarative language; although we do have the if operator [1],
working with it is more troublesome than ever before ;)

We will now try and build a module for our purpose, at least, i hope so.

Anyway, here is a snippet to reproduce a non -closing connection using eval in
a named location called by echo_exec - it gets complicated indeed.


location /test
{
echo_exec @initialize;
}

location @initialize
{
eval_override_content_type 'text/plain';

eval $id
{
rewrite ^(.*)$ /id;
proxy_pass http://data-1:8080;
}
}

This will fail and also fail with a memc_pass call. However, it will work if
you replace the echo_exec call with the entire contents of the named location.

Even this little piece of code gave me a hard time; imagine how some 50 lines
using various eval blocks, proxy_pass and memc_pass directives and many evil
if operators ;)

Anyway, thanks for all the support on the way!
