<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I have the following three directives:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">hello_world is an nginx handler module that provides content “hello world”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">hola_mundo and bonjour_monde are filters that add to the chain strings “hola mundo” and “bonjour monde” respectively.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Here is the output:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">curl "http://localhost:8090/hello"<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">hello worldhola mundobonjour monde<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">How do I control the order of execution of filters?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I already looked at objs/ngx_modules.c and auto/modules. My custom handlers and filters are not listed there.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">One thing that I observed is that the order of listing the load_module modules/*.so in conf/nginx.conf does impact the order of execution of the filters.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Is there any other trick to adjust the execution order within the location block?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Thanks,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
