nginx tcp lua module
=============
A tcp module with lua support for nginx.

Most code are copied from ngx-lua-module, and the directives/constants/APIs are
planed to be compatible with ngx-lua module.

Thanks for great job of ngx-lua module.

Tested with nginx-1.4.4.

Directives
============

server

listen

so_keepalive

tcp_nodelay

timeout

resolver

resolver_timeout

allow

deny

access_log

directio_alignment

client_body_buffer_size

lua_code_cache

lua_package_path

lua_package_cpath

process_by_lua

process_by_lua_file

lua_socket_keepalive_timeout

lua_socket_connect_timeout

lua_socket_send_timeout

lua_socket_send_lowat

Installation
============

wget http://luajit.org/download/LuaJIT-2.0.0.tar.gz
tar -xvfz LuaJIT-2.0.0.tar.gz
cd LuaJIT-2.0.0
make install

wget 'http://nginx.org/download/nginx-1.0.15.tar.gz'
tar -xzvf nginx-1.0.15.tar.gz
cd nginx-1.0.15/

# tell nginx's build system where to find luajit:
export LUAJIT_LIB=/usr/local/lib
export LUAJIT_INC=/usr/local/include/luajit-2.0

# or tell where to find Lua
#export LUA_LIB=/path/to/lua/lib
#export LUA_INC=/path/to/lua/include

# Here we assume Nginx is to be installed under /opt/nginx/.
./configure --prefix=/opt/nginx \
--add-module=/path/to/ngx-tcp-lua-module

make -j2
make install

# on 64bit os, the soft link maybe needed to run nginx:

ln -s /usr/local/lib/libluajit-5.1.so.2.0.0 /lib64/libluajit-5.1.so.2

Example
============

nginx.conf:

tcp {
server {
listen 8000;
process_by_lua_file conf/test.lua;
}
}

test.lua:

local a = 0
a = a + 1

local f = io.open("/tmp/aaaa", "wb")
f:write("xxxx")
f:close()

local sock = ngx.req.socket()

while true do
local re = sock:receive(10)
if re == nil then
break
end
ngx.print(re)
end

------------

Also there is a redis proxy example:

1. cp examples/redis.lua path-to-nginx/conf
2. vi nginx.conf add:

tcp {
server {
listen 8000;
process_by_lua_file conf/redis.lua;
}
}

3. run redis on default port

redis-server

4. issue a redis-benchmark test:

redis-benchmark -q -p 8000 -c 200 -n 100000
