As per title of this question, how do I go about logging all of the headers client browser has sent in Nginx? I also want to log response header. Note that I am using nginx as reverse proxy.
After going through documentation, I understand that I can log a specific header, but I want to log all of the headers.
I will accept hacky solution!
After much research, I can conclude that it is not possible out of the box.
Update- you can use openresty which comes with Lua. Using Lua one can do pretty cool things, including logging all of the headers to say, Redis or some other server
As @gauravphoenix said you need opnresty which comes with Lua. See https://github.com/openresty/lua-nginx-module/ for installing it. Once it's running then add in nginx
header_filter_by_lua_block {
local h = ngx.req.get_headers()
for k, v in pairs(h) do
ngx.log(ngx.ERR, "Got header "..k..": "..v..";")
end
}
Inspect your error log.
