Pipeline support for ngx.req.socket(true)?

[Piers O'Hanlon]

Hi,

I've been trying to use ngx.req.socket(true) sockets for pipelined requests but I cannot get it to respond to more than the first pipelined request (/pipelinefail) - as can be seen the example (/pipelinepass) it works fine with just ngx.req.socket(). I wasn't sure if I was missing something, or if the current stable version of OpenResty (or nginx) does not support it yet?

The basic example config:

        location = /pipelinefail {
        content_by_lua '
            ngx.status = 101
            ngx.req.read_body()
            local sock, err = ngx.req.socket(true)
            if not sock then
                ngx.log(ngx.ERR, "server: failed to get raw req socket: ", err)
                return
            end
            local ok, err = sock:send("HTTP/1.1 200 OK\\r\\nContent-Length: 5\\r\\n\\r\\nhello")
            if not ok then
                ngx.log(ngx.ERR, "failed to send: ", err)
                return
            end
        ';
        }

        location = /pipelinepass {
        content_by_lua '
            ngx.status = 101
            ngx.req.read_body()
            local sock, err = ngx.req.socket()
            if not sock then
                ngx.log(ngx.ERR, "server: failed to get raw req socket: ", err)
                return
            end
            local ok, err = ngx.say("200 OK\\r\\nContent-Length: 5\\r\\n\\r\\nhello")
            if not ok then
                ngx.log(ngx.ERR, "failed to send: ", err)
                return
            end
        ';
        }

Any comments/help welcome.

Thanks.

I realise my examples aren't the best (there's left over cruft from other test code), but what I'm most interested in is providing for persistent connections (pipelining would be good too) - If one runs test15 from OpenResty:

https://github.com/openresty/lua-nginx-module/blob/master/t/116-raw-req-socket.t#L785

It can be seen that if a client sends more than one request (with header Connection: keep-alive) down the same TCP connection only the first one is acted on. It works fine if the client closes the connection and opens a new each time. I'm wondering if there's anything missing from that test code to support persistent connections or if OpenResty 1.13.6 doesn't support it?

Thanks again for any input.
