Hello All, I am currently implementing a response header filter that triggers one or more subrequests conditionally based on the status of the parent response.
I want to introduce some delay between the checking of the response and the triggering of the subrequest, but I do not want to block the worker thread. So far I have allocated an event within the main request's pool, added a timer with my desired delay, and attached a callback that does two things. 1. triggers a subrequest as desired 2. proceeds to call the next response header filter In the meantime, after posting the event my handler returns NGX_OK. This is not working at all. Shortly after my filter returns NGX_OK the response is finalized, and the pool is deallocated. When the timer wakes up a segfault occurs in the worker process (in ngx_event_del_timer). Even if I allocate the event in a separate pool that outlives the request it is still not defined what happens when I try to trigger a subrequest on a request that has been finalized. My question is how can I make the finalization of the request contingent on the associated/posted event being handled first? OR, is there another facility for implementing non blocking delay that I can use? Thanks, Ava
