Description

OpenResty is a full-fledged web application server by bundling the standard nginx core,
lots of 3rd-party nginx modules, as well as most of their external dependencies.

This bundle is maintained by Yichun Zhang (agentzh).

Because most of the nginx modules are developed by the bundle maintainers, it can ensure
that all these modules are played well together.

The bundled software components are copyrighted by the respective copyright holders.

The homepage for this project is on openresty.org.

For Users

Visit the download page on the openresty.org web site
to download the latest bundle tarball, and
follow the installation instructions in the installation page.

For Bundle Maintainers

The bundle’s source is at the following git repository:

https://github.com/openresty/openresty

To reproduce the bundle tarball, just do

make

at the top of the bundle source tree.

Please note that you may need to install some extra dependencies, like perl, dos2unix, and mercurial.
On Fedora 22, for example, installing the dependencies
is as simple as running the following commands:

sudo dnf install perl dos2unix mercurial

Additional Features

In additional to the standard nginx core features, this bundle also supports the following:

Back to TOC

resolv.conf parsing

syntax: resolver address … [valid=time] [ipv6=on|off] [local=on|off|path]

default: -

context: http, stream, server, location

Similar to the resolver directive
in standard nginx core with additional support for parsing additional resolvers from the resolv.conf file
format.

When local=on, the standard path of /etc/resolv.conf will be used. You may also specify arbitrary
path to be used for parsing, for example: local=/tmp/test.conf.

When local=off, parsing will be disabled (this is the default).

This feature is not available on Windows platforms.
