Description
I want to design a timer, which has a function to send a http request to some url every delay. But some APIs are disable in ngx.timer.* context, how can i use other APIs to implement this timer? Do you have any other methods?

Start with the ngx.timer.* entry points and the issue's description of APIs disabled in that context. Determine which timer and HTTP-request capabilities are available, and whether an existing entry point supports the requested recurring behavior. Done means documenting a feasible implementation path or clearly stating the relevant limitation.
