Running the joind.in-API on nginx

As the joind.in-API currently is optimized for running on an apache-httpd you will have to do some changes to the code to get everything up and running.

Get apache_request_headers up and running.

The joind.in-API requires the apache_request_headers-function. Therefore you will have to include the following:

if( !function_exists('apache_request_headers') ) {
    function apache_request_headers() {
        $arh = array();
        $rx_http = '/\AHTTP_/';
        foreach($_SERVER as $key => $val) {
            if( preg_match($rx_http, $key) ) {
                $arh_key = preg_replace($rx_http, '', $key);
                $rx_matches = array();
                // do some nasty string manipulations to restore the original letter case
                // this should work in most cases
                $rx_matches = explode('_', $arh_key);
                if( count($rx_matches) > 0 and strlen($arh_key) > 2 ) {
                    foreach($rx_matches as $ak_key => $ak_val) $rx_matches[$ak_key] = ucfirst($ak_val);
                    $arh_key = implode('-', $rx_matches);
                }
                $arh[$arh_key] = $val;
            }
        }
        return( $arh );
    }
}

The function is simply taken from php.net/apache_request_headers. Put that into a helper-file and include it in the index.php-file.

Get a fallback for $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] up

The nginx-Server seems not to populate the $_SERVER['PATH_INFO']-variable. So you will have to adapt src/inc/Request.php around line 41 by adding the following:

} else if (isset($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'])) {
     $this->setPathInfo(parse_url($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], PHP_URL_PATH));

beneath the if (isset($_SERVER['PATH_INFO'])) {-part.

Then everything should be running like with an apache-httpd.
