Okay my list: -Ability for other modules to call lua without worrying about caching, compiling, etc. ie something like: APR_DECLARE_OPTIONAL_FN(apr_status_t, lua_request_register, (apr_pool_t *pool, lua_request_t **new, const char *file)); APR_DECLARE_OPTIONAL_FN(apr_status_t, lua_request_run, (request_rec * r, lua_request_t *run, const char *function, apr_status_t *rc));
In theory, this generalized "framework" would be used by mod_wombat internally. -Per thread vm's. An httpd thread has a dedicated lua vm for each file. (We do these two things^^. Brian M. has our very hacked version of mod_wombat. I can post it here if there is interest) Support for in httpd.conf Lua. Ie, I want to be able to do "simple" lua in the config rather than having to use a separate file. <Lua my_cool_code> require 'string' require 'apache2' function simple_redirect(r) if string.match(r.headers_in['User-Agent'], 'mozilla') then r.headers_out['Location'] = 'http://somecoolmozillasite.com/stuff' return apache2.HTTP_MOVED_TEMPORARILY end end </Lua> <Location /my_ie_only_app> LuaHook fixups my_cool_code:simple_redirect </Location> (Bad example, but you get the general idea) Ability to make "real" modules in lua: function register_hooks(p) apache2.hook_handler(my_handler, NULL, NULL, apache2.HOOK_MIDDLE) End apache2.module( apache2.STANDARD20_MODULE_STUFF, create_dir_cfg, merge_dir_cfg, create_svr_cfg, merge_svr_cfg, cmd_table, register_hooks ) The modules loading is place I see this being tricky. For the truly ambitious, I'd like to be able to configure apache via lua: httpd.load_module('mime_module', 'modules/mod_mime.so') v = apache2.server.new() v:document_root = '/opt/apache/htdocs' mod_mime:types_config = '/etc/mime.types' mod_env.set_env('X-Lua', 'is cool') Not valid, but something like that... -- Brian Akins Chief Operations Engineer Turner Digital Media Technologies
