Nginx and conditional logformat

[Marcello Lorenzi]

Hi Max.

In our idea with this configuration all the requests use the sslclient
logformat and in case of failure with the certificate the logformat that
will be used is sslclientfull.



Into the location / we enable the ssl_verify_client to optional and
actually we have some if with the variabile $ssl_client_verify to provide a
customized message to the users. It seems that the set variable is not
working into the if statement.

We can’t use the “map” parameter because it works only to a http block and
not into location block.

Thanks,
Marcello


Regards,

Marcello
