I tried using post_action but it was causing delay:
I think this is how post_action works, please correct if am wrong.
1-> Nginx get the REQUEST
2-> Nginx receives the RESPONSE generated by PHP
3-> Nginx sends a SUB_REQUEST to 2nd server (using post_action then
proxy_pass)
4-> Nginx recieves the RESPONSE from the 2nd server
5-> Nginx shows RESPONSE to user.
Here at stage 3 & 4 there is an unecessary delay. The subrequest I am
sending is just for analytics and dont want the response to the user be
delayed. The subrequest does not modify the response.
Here is what i want to achieve:
1-> Nginx get the REQUEST
2-> Nginx receives the RESPONSE generated by PHP
3-> Nginx shows RESPONSE to USER.
4-> Nginx generates a SUB_REQUEST to 2nd server
5-> Nginx recieves the RESPONSE from the 2nd server (optional)
Is there any asynchronous module which can be used to achieve the above
flow ?
my conf file file looks like this
http {
server {
location /sendlogging
{
    internal;
    proxy_pass http://localhost:8080/index.php;
}
if($uri = /sendlogging) {
    break;
}
location /
{
    ....
    post_action /sendlogging;
}
}
}
