Thanks Oscar. Yes I'd read that first page and a bunch of those search results before. I guess I'll end up writing custom config files per environment, too, and maybe a script to regenerate and send a HUP to nginx when the data changes. I really wanted to avoid this because it's just one more moving part that I'd rather not have. It seems pretty reasonable to want to do this sort of thing justby igorclark - Nginx Mailing List - English
Hi all, I want to read some remote values via HTTP into nginx config variables, just once at nginx startup / reload time, and pass them as fastcgi_params into PHP scripts. I control the remote system, so I'll know if it needs to re-read and can send a HUP to nginx. I don't need it to happen every request though, because the value won't change for long periods - but it will change sometimes, andby igorclark - Nginx Mailing List - English
