Plans to support LISTEN/NOTIFY?

[pmahoney]

Are there any plans to support LISTEN and NOTIFY? Specifically, I'd like to configure a location block such that when I make an HTTP request, it will block, listening on some condition, until it is notified.

@pmahoney There is no such plan AFAIK. It should be much much easier to implement this in the pgmoon Lua library that is based on ngx_lua module's cosocket API, which is also 100% nonblocking inside NGINX:

Thanks for the tip; I'll check out pgmoon.
