Setting a Global Hook

Global hooks are always added in TSPluginInit using TSHttpHookAdd. The two arguments of TSHttpHookAdd are the hook ID and the continuation to call when processing the event corresponding to the hook. In blacklist_1.c, the global hook is added as follows:

TSHttpHookAdd (TS_HTTP_OS_DNS_HOOK, contp);

Above, TS_HTTP_OS_DNS_HOOK is the ID for the origin server DNS lookup hook and contp is the parent continuation created earlier.

This means that the Blacklist plugin is called at every origin server DNS lookup. When it is called, the handler functio blacklist_plugin receives TS_EVENT_HTTP_OS_DNS and calls handle_dns to see if the request is forbidden.
