Hello guys, I'm trying to find a way to use OpenStack SWIFT with nginx, the below are request steps:
1. nginx is configured as proxy cache 2. client send a request to nginx for url: http://domain.com/filename.txt 3. nginx received the request and it is a cache miss, it need to fetch the content from SWIFT proxy server 4. nginx send a request to swift proxy server for authentication, the url looks like http://swift-proxy/auth-account, account information is set in header, the response from swift proxy server contains a auth-token for that account if authentication success. 5. then nginx use this auth-token and put it in a new request header, and send the new request to the swift proxy server for the original request content, there could be a map between client request url to the swift proxy url, for example, /filename.txt --> /account/container/filename.txt, so the new requst url could be http://swift-proxy/account/container/filename.txt, plus the auth-token. 6. swift proxy sever response the content to nginx, then nginx cache the content and pass the response to the client. Could the above requirement be accomplished by some specific configuration plus some existing nginx modules? Thanks, Andy
