Nginx C function

There is something that should be said about nginx&#x27;s third party modules. There are many and they add quite a bit of functionality, especially when they&#x27;re upstream modules.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nginx.com&#x2F;resources&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;modules&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nginx.com&#x2F;resources&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;modules&#x2F;</a><p>It&#x27;s great because you don&#x27;t even need a web framework, really. If you&#x27;re comfortable and confident in nginx you can get quite a bit of performance out of the server while adding your application logic to it. I&#x27;m not sure why more people don&#x27;t and just use it as a reverse proxy.

For a more mature implementation of this concept, I would highly recommend having a look at Kore: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;kore.io" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;kore.io</a><p>It has a sane architecture, and is fully privilege separated by default, with private keys isolated in a separate process. I&#x27;ve been using it lately to write REST APIs in C, and the experience has been awesome, it has great APIs to parse requests and easily construct responses.

Could someone explain to me why would I choose this over <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;openresty&#x2F;lua-nginx-module" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;openresty&#x2F;lua-nginx-module</a> ? It supports LuaJIT and while I suppose it is possible to write faster C code by hand than JIT translated Lua it&#x27;d be hard and I&#x27;d fear the maintainability of hand optimized C code.

We&#x27;re huge fans of C interfaces on the sever side. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;kore.io" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;kore.io</a> is our preferred stack.<p>It&#x27;s primary interface is C. In our opinion, it&#x27;s lighter weight, and simpler to integrate with your app.

Is the function blocking or asynchronous? Cant quite find it in the README.

Can anyone explain to me what is the different between<p>ngx_http_c_func_call &quot;my_app_simple_get_greeting&quot;;<p>vs<p>ngx_http_c_func_call &quot;my_app_simple_get_greeting&quot; respTo=myResponseVariable;<p>I didn&#x27;t see any different, just create a variable.

cgi-bin all over again?

Is this like lambda(aws) for C?

Why does it keep mentioning .so? Nobody refers to it like that. Just say dynamically link.

Any idea why sharing this link to Pocket on Android 9 does not work? (&quot;this webpage does not contain a valid link&quot;)
