There seems to be a demand for dynamic per-request configuration,

This is what I had in mind when I suggested having <Lua> blocks of
code. No
need to invent a new language when a perfectly fine one exists...
+1, and embed Lua in the core, and a dozen problems just like this are
solved.
-0.5 PLEASE not in the core. Make mod_wombat a standard module and
part of the default moduleset, whatever, but let's not make more core
dependencies, please?!?
-0.99 - agreed. Perl is perfectly happy having <perl> blocks as modular
behaviors... I've noticed a trend in the last few years of building on the
core (and folks rightfully accused me of growing mod_proxy core when new
directives are rightfully part of mod_proxy_{whatever}).
Let's focus on keeping it in useful pieces, even if they are built by
default.
