[nginx-announce] njs-0.5.1

[Dmitry Volyntsev]

Hello,

I'm glad to announce a new release of NGINX JavaScript module (njs).

This release focuses on extending the modules functionality.

Notable new features:
- ngx.fetch() method implements a generic HTTP client which
     does not depend on subrequests:
: example.js:
:   function fetch(r) {
:      ngx.fetch('http://nginx.org/')
:      .then(reply => reply.text())
:      .then(body => r.return(200, body))
:      .catch(e => r.return(501, e.message));
:   }

- js_header_filter directive. The directive allows changing arbitrary
     header fields of a response header.
: nginx.conf:
:   js_import foo.js;
:
:   location / {
:       js_header_filter foo.filter;
:       proxy_passhttp://127.0.0.1:8081/;
:   }
:
: foo.js:
:   function filter(r) {
:     var cookies = r.headersOut['Set-Cookie'];
:     var len = r.args.len ? Number(r.args.len) : 0;
:     r.headersOut['Set-Cookie'] = cookies.filter(v=>v.length > len);
:   }
:
:   export default {filter};
