nginx的请求接收流程（二）

在ngx_http_process_request_line函数中，解析完请求行之后，如果请求行的uri里面包含了域名部分，则将其保持在请求结构的headers_in成员的server字段，headers_in用来保存所有请求头，它的类型为ngx_http_headers_in_t：

typedef struct {
    ngx_list_t                        headers;

    ngx_table_elt_t                  *host;
    ngx_table_elt_t                  *connection;
    ngx_table_elt_t                  *if_modified_since;
    ngx_table_elt_t                  *if_unmodified_since;
    ngx_table_elt_t                  *user_agent;
    ngx_table_elt_t                  *referer;
    ngx_table_elt_t                  *content_length;
    ngx_table_elt_t                  *content_type;

    ngx_table_elt_t                  *range;
    ngx_table_elt_t                  *if_range;

    ngx_table_elt_t                  *transfer_encoding;
    ngx_table_elt_t                  *expect;

#if (NGX_HTTP_GZIP)
    ngx_table_elt_t                  *accept_encoding;
    ngx_table_elt_t                  *via;
#endif

    ngx_table_elt_t                  *authorization;

    ngx_table_elt_t                  *keep_alive;

#if (NGX_HTTP_PROXY || NGX_HTTP_REALIP || NGX_HTTP_GEO)
    ngx_table_elt_t                  *x_forwarded_for;
#endif

#if (NGX_HTTP_REALIP)
    ngx_table_elt_t                  *x_real_ip;
#endif

#if (NGX_HTTP_HEADERS)
    ngx_table_elt_t                  *accept;
    ngx_table_elt_t                  *accept_language;
#endif

#if (NGX_HTTP_DAV)
    ngx_table_elt_t                  *depth;
    ngx_table_elt_t                  *destination;
    ngx_table_elt_t                  *overwrite;
    ngx_table_elt_t                  *date;
#endif

    ngx_str_t                         user;
    ngx_str_t                         passwd;
    ngx_array_t                       cookies;

    ngx_str_t                         server;
    off_t                             content_length_n;
    time_t                            keep_alive_n;

    unsigned                          connection_type:2;
    unsigned                          msie:1;
    unsigned                          msie6:1;
    unsigned                          opera:1;
    unsigned                          gecko:1;
    unsigned                          chrome:1;
    unsigned                          safari:1;
    unsigned                          konqueror:1;
} ngx_http_headers_in_t;

接着，该函数会检查进来的请求是否使用的是http0.9，如果是的话则使用从请求行里得到的域名，调用ngx_http_find_virtual_server（）函数来查找用来处理该请求的虚拟服务器配置，之前通过端口和地址找到的默认配置不再使用，找到相应的配置之后，则直接调用ngx_http_process_request（）函数处理该请求，因为http0.9是最原始的http协议，它里面没有定义任何请求头，显然就不需要读取请求头的操作。

            if (r->host_start && r->host_end) {

                host = r->host_start;
                n = ngx_http_validate_host(r, &host,
                                           r->host_end - r->host_start, 0);

                if (n == 0) {
                    ngx_log_error(NGX_LOG_INFO, c->log, 0,
                                  "client sent invalid host in request line");
                    ngx_http_finalize_request(r, NGX_HTTP_BAD_REQUEST);
                    return;
                }

                if (n < 0) {
                    ngx_http_close_request(r, NGX_HTTP_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR);
                    return;
                }

                r->headers_in.server.len = n;
                r->headers_in.server.data = host;
            }

            if (r->http_version < NGX_HTTP_VERSION_10) {

                if (ngx_http_find_virtual_server(r, r->headers_in.server.data,
                                                 r->headers_in.server.len)
                    == NGX_ERROR)
                {
                    ngx_http_close_request(r, NGX_HTTP_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR);
                    return;
                }

                ngx_http_process_request(r);
                return;
            }

当然，如果是1.0或者更新的http协议，接下来要做的就是读取请求头了，首先nginx会为请求头分配空间，ngx_http_headers_in_t结
