redirect based on file content

[Dmitry Volyntsev]

You can try to use njs here:

http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_js_module.html
http://nginx.org/en/docs/njs/njs_api.html#http - more about r object.

nginx.conf:
http {
	js_include http.njs;
	...
	server {
		listen 9000;
		location / {
			js_content redirect;
		}
	}
}

http.njs:
function redirect(r) {
  	var fs = require('fs');
  	var body = fs.readFileSync('/redirects/' + r.uri);
  	var parts = body.split(' ');
  	var code = Number(parts[0]);
  	var uri = parts[1];

  	r.return(code, uri);
}
