=head1 Name

iconv-nginx-module



This is a nginx module that uses libiconv to convert characters of different
encoding. It brings the 'set_iconv' command to nginx.

This module depends on the ngx_devel_kit(NDK) module.


=head1 Usage


=head2 set_iconv

B<syntax:> I<set_iconv E<lt>destination_variableE<gt> E<lt>from_variableE<gt> from=E<lt>from_encodingE<gt> to=E<lt>to_encodingE<gt>>

B<default:> I<none>

B<phase:> I<rewrite>




=head2 iconv_buffer_size

B<syntax:> I<iconv_buffer_size E<lt>sizeE<gt>>

B<default:> I<iconv_buffer_size E<lt>pagesizeE<gt>>




=head2 iconv_filter

B<syntax:> I<iconv_filter from=E<lt>from_encodingE<gt> to=E<lt>to_encodingE<gt>>

B<default:> I<none>

B<phase:> I<output-filter>

Here is a basic example:


     #nginx.conf
    
     location /foo {
         set $src '你好'; #in UTF-8
         set_iconv $dst $src from=utf8 to=gbk; #now $dst holds 你好 in GBK
     }
    
     #everything generated from /foo will be converted from utf8 to gbk
     location /bar {
         iconv_filter from=utf-8 to=gbk;
         iconv_buffer_size 1k;
         #content handler here
     }

=head1 Installation

Get the nginx source code from L<nginx.org|http://nginx.org/>.
Untar the source code and build nginx with this module.


     wget 'http://sysoev.ru/nginx/nginx-1.9.15.tar.gz'
     tar -xzvf nginx-1.9.15.tar.gz
     cd nginx-1.9.15/
    
     git-clone http://github.com/simpl-it/ngx_devel_kit.git
     git-clone http://github.com/calio/form-input-module.git
    
     ./configure --add-module=/path/to/iconv-nginx-module/ --add-module=/path/to/ngx_devel_kit
     make -j2
     make install




=head2 Building as a dynamic module

Starting from NGINX 1.9.11, you can also compile this module as a dynamic module, by using the C<--add-dynamic-module=PATH> option instead of C<--add-module=PATH> on the
C<./configure> command line above. And then you can explicitly load the module in your C<nginx.conf> via the L<load_module|http://nginx.org/en/docs/ngx_core_module.html#load_module>
directive, for example,


    load_module /path/to/modules/ndk_http_module.so;  # assuming NDK is built as a dynamic module too
    load_module /path/to/modules/ngx_http_iconv_module.so;
