= 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.

<geshi lang="bash">
$ 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
</geshi>

= Usage =

set_iconv <destination variable> <from variable> from=<from encoding> to=<to encoding>;
iconv_buffer_size <size>; #default iconv_buffer_size is ngx_pagesize
iconv_filter from=<from encoding> to=<to encoding>;

Here is a basic example:
<geshi lang="nginx">
#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
}
</geshi>
