Description

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26976535/variable-interpolation-inside-map-directive

I am trying to map a variable inside the http directive in Nginx.

When left alone, the variable alone gets expanded, if I add anything else to the string the expansion stops working.

http {

map $host $foo {

#default "$host"; # - this works fine and returns 'localhost'
default "This is my host: $host"; # - THIS DOESN'T WORK

}

server {

location / {

echo $foo;

}

}

}

This is expected behaviour. Only a single variable can be used as a resulting value, see http://nginx.org/r/map:

The resulting value can be a string or another variable (0.9.0).

Support for combinations of multiple variables may be added in the future.

I would also like to base map conditions on existing variables...

map $host $public_domain {

default example.com;

}

map $http_referer $landing_request {

hostnames;

*.$public_domain 0; # THIS DOESNT WORK !!!
default 1;

}

It's not clear what you are trying to do with the example, as it's expected to always return 0 if the line in question will work. But anyway, there are no plans to support variables in source values.

Just updated the comment. It was meant to compare the $http_referer with $public_domain.
Cheers
