Working with version 2.8
I'm trying to get some information from a request. This is just a test/local development phase. Trying to get URL, payload, params, headers etc. I see that haproxy has a fetches class and a txn http class which can get me some of the details I'm looking for. From what I can see in code used at different teams in my workplace, I can use the below functions to get different details of a request
headers : txn.http:req_get_headers()
payload : txn.sf:req_body()
Two questions
for key, value in pairs(txn.f) do
print("Keyf:", key)
-- Check if it's a function and print its type
if type(value) == "function" then
print(" Type: Function")
else
print(" Type: Value")
print(" Valuef:", value)
end
end
After a day of trial and error, apparently the answer can be derived from docs. config docs. Apparently when it says req.body, it means you can get the body from txn.sf:req_body()
, for url txn.f:path()
, for params txn.f:query()
. The pattern seems to be to substitute dot in the config with an underscore (res.body , res_body())
