IMHO an interesting use case for mod_lua would be all the places where one can easily plug in additional functions that can then be used without further interaction with mod_lua: - authz providers - ap_expr functions / variables - additional log formats for CustomLog and ErrorLogFormat - rewrite maps I.e, these APIs should be somehow exposed in mod_lua: ap_register_auth_provider ap_register_log_handler ap_register_errorlog_handler ap_register_rewrite_mapfunc ap_hook_expr_lookup ap_register_include_handler
