So I was going to reimplement it based on mod_wombat some
time this year.
The nice thing about lua, in addition to being lightweight, is that
most of the url mapping/rewriting can be simple lua statements.
<Lua fixups>
if string.match(r.uri, '/something') then
r.filename = '/www/that/path'
end
</Lua>
Fine for users who want to hack their own server. Like <Perl>.
But r.filename is the kind of innards we really don't want
to expose to the typical mod_rewrite user!
I disagree.
Just read the mod_rewrite docs:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/rewrite/rewrite_tech.html#InternalAPI
They are already exposing internals to "users'.
"Users" want customization.
We should just do it right, and stop hacking around the central problem.
Expose the structures.
Embed Lua.
