Issue with 3rd-party memc and eval modules

[Markus Jelsma]

Hi,


In the end, i need two pieces of server side logic:
1) HTTP request filter that looks up a key in memcache (specified in a 
cookie). Then, an additional lookup is required and finally either the URL can 
be rewritten or the original cookie can be overwritten.

In pseudo:
request.cookie.token = memcache_get(memcache_get(request.cookie.token));

Of course, some validation checks need to be executed such as verifying if the 
client's IP address is actually linked to the token.

This part already works and uses two eval blocks.


2) A HTTP request with multiple parameters needs to be processed and a cookie 
needs to be set (eval) which value is a random hash generated by some backend 
(eval), that value then will be stored in memcache as well (eval) as a HTTP 
specified token. This step is a token synchronization process that initializes 
a session so it can be called using the logic above.

This second part is filled with checks, validations etc and is hard to 
implement because of order of exection (eval before rewrite). But i really 
need rewrite's conditional statement a lot of times. Splitting it all up in 
seperate named locations is quite a challenge.

Doing all this in the config would be nice but on the other hand making a 
module for it would be even better. It would be some sort of combination of 
the memcache module and user_id module.


Cheers,
