Probably production ready in most cases, though not yet proven in the wild. Please check the issues list and let me know if you have any problems / questions.

Synopsis

location /t1 {
    set $ctx_ref "";
    content_by_lua_block {
        local ctxdump = require "resty.ctxdump"
        ngx.ctx = {
            Date = "Wed May  3 15:18:04 CST 2017",
            Site = "unknown"
        }
        ngx.var.ctx_ref = ctxdump.stash_ngx_ctx()
        ngx.exec("/t2")
    }
}

location /t2 {
    internal;
    content_by_lua_block {
        local ctxdump = require "resty.ctxdump"
        ngx.ctx = ctxdump.apply_ngx_ctx(ngx.var.ctx_ref)
        ngx.say("Date: " .. ngx.ctx["Date"] .. " Site: " .. ngx.ctx["Site"])
    }
}

Methods

stash_ngx_ctx

syntax: ref = stash_ngx_ctx()
phase: *init_worker_by_lua*, set_by_lua*, rewrite_by_lua*, access_by_lua*, content_by_lua*, header_filter_by_lua*, body_filter_by_lua*, log_by_lua*, ngx.timer.*, balancer_by_lua*

Reference the ngx.ctx, returns an anchor(a new reference maintained by lua-resty-ctxdump).

Note: stash_ngx_ctx and apply_ngx_ctx must be called in pairs, otherwise memory leak will happen! See apply_ngx_ctx.

apply_ngx_ctx

syntax: old_ngx_ctx = apply_ngx_ctx(ref)
phase: *init_worker_by_lua*, set_by_lua*, rewrite_by_lua*, access_by_lua*, content_by_lua*, header_filter_by_lua*, body_filter_by_lua*, log_by_lua*, ngx.timer.*, balancer_by_lua*

fetch the old ngx.ctx with the anchor returns from stash_ngx_ctx. After that, the anchor will be out of work.

Note: stash_ngx_ctx and apply_ngx_ctx must be called in pairs, otherwise memory leak will happen! See stash_ngx_ctx.
