HttpIconvModule

= Name =

iconv-nginx-module

= Description =

This is a nginx module that uses libiconv to convert characters of different encoding. It brings the 'set_iconv' command to nginx.

This module depends on the ngx_devel_kit(NDK) module.

= Installation =

Get the nginx source code from nginx.net (http://nginx.net/). Untar the source code and build nginx with this module.

$ wget 'http://sysoev.ru/nginx/nginx-0.8.28.tar.gz' $ tar -xzvf nginx-0.8.28.tar.gz       $ cd nginx-0.8.28/

$ git-clone http://github.com/simpl-it/ngx_devel_kit.git $ git-clone http://github.com/calio/form-input-module.git

$ ./configure --add-module=/somepath/iconv-nginx-module/ --add-module=/somepath/ngx_devel_kit $ make -j2 $ make install

= Usage =

set_iconv from= to= ; iconv_buffer_size ;  #default iconv_buffer_size is ngx_pagesize iconv_filter from= to= ;

Here is a basic example: #nginx.conf location /foo { set $src '你好'; #in UTF-8 set_iconv $dst $src from=utf8 to=gbk; #now $dst holds 你好 in GBK }       #everything generated from /foo will be converted from utf8 to gbk location /bar { iconv_filter from=utf-8 to=gbk; iconv_buffer_size 1k; #content handler here }
