Description

Hello!
Thank you very much for your openresty!
I have a problem,We want to have a choice to cache the type of file,Sometimes i just want to cache GIF, or just want to cache JPG.
So I set it this way in nginx.conf
"
set $proxy_rule "/";
location $proxy_rule {
XXXXXXX
}
"
The idea is to dynamically set $proxy_rule in Lua,But this configure is wrong,maybe it parsing "$proxy_rule" with regular expressions in the first,and we can't get "$proxy_rule" value。
I want to take this expression in Lua, I will resign myself to your guidance. Thank you very much.
