889dc1728817c1c56d0c8d894c768614e346d86ecovener<module>mod_lua</module> include many of the hooks available to
889dc1728817c1c56d0c8d894c768614e346d86ecovenernatively compiled Apache HTTP Server modules, such as mapping requests to
860b4efe27e7c1c9a2bf5c872b29c90f76849b51jimfiles, generating dynamic responses, access control, authentication, and
889dc1728817c1c56d0c8d894c768614e346d86ecovenerauthorization</p>

889dc1728817c1c56d0c8d894c768614e346d86ecovener<p> In the Apache HTTP Server API, the handler is a specific kind of hook
860b4efe27e7c1c9a2bf5c872b29c90f76849b51jimresponsible for generating the response. Examples of modules that include a
860b4efe27e7c1c9a2bf5c872b29c90f76849b51jimhandler are <module>mod_proxy</module>, <module>mod_cgi</module>,
889dc1728817c1c56d0c8d894c768614e346d86ecovener<p><code>mod_lua</code> always looks to invoke a Lua function for the handler, rather than
e27eee5caa6c1bf3853c11253ae82303cff0e40brbowenjust evaluating a script body CGI style. A handler function looks
e27eee5caa6c1bf3853c11253ae82303cff0e40brbowensomething like this:</p>

e27eee5caa6c1bf3853c11253ae82303cff0e40brbowenThis handler function just prints out the uri or form encoded

e27eee5caa6c1bf3853c11253ae82303cff0e40brbowenThis means (and in fact encourages) that you can have multiple
e27eee5caa6c1bf3853c11253ae82303cff0e40brbowenhandlers (or hooks, or filters) in the same script.
e20c6ecbd465cd7dabb44acea6afafc7925f3a03sf<p><module>mod_authz_core</module> provides a high-level interface to
e20c6ecbd465cd7dabb44acea6afafc7925f3a03sfauthorization that is much easier to use than using into the relevant
e20c6ecbd465cd7dabb44acea6afafc7925f3a03sfhooks directly. The first argument to the
e20c6ecbd465cd7dabb44acea6afafc7925f3a03sf<directive module="mod_authz_core">Require</directive> directive gives
e20c6ecbd465cd7dabb44acea6afafc7925f3a03sfthe name of the responsible authorization provider. For any
e20c6ecbd465cd7dabb44acea6afafc7925f3a03sf<directive module="mod_authz_core">Require</directive> line,
e20c6ecbd465cd7dabb44acea6afafc7925f3a03sf<module>mod_authz_core</module> will call the authorization provider
e20c6ecbd465cd7dabb44acea6afafc7925f3a03sfof the given name, passing the rest of the line as parameters. The
e20c6ecbd465cd7dabb44acea6afafc7925f3a03sfprovider will then check authorization and pass the result as return
e20c6ecbd465cd7dabb44acea6afafc7925f3a03sf<p>The authz provider is normally called before authentication. If it needs to
e20c6ecbd465cd7dabb44acea6afafc7925f3a03sfknow the authenticated user name (or if the user will be authenticated at
e20c6ecbd465cd7dabb44acea6afafc7925f3a03sfall), the provider must return <code>apache2.AUTHZ_DENIED_NO_USER</code>.
e20c6ecbd465cd7dabb44acea6afafc7925f3a03sfThis will cause authentication to proceed and the authz provider to be
e20c6ecbd465cd7dabb44acea6afafc7925f3a03sfcalled a second time.</p>
e20c6ecbd465cd7dabb44acea6afafc7925f3a03sf<p>The following authz provider function takes two arguments, one ip
e20c6ecbd465cd7dabb44acea6afafc7925f3a03sfaddress and one user name. It will allow access from the given ip address
e20c6ecbd465cd7dabb44acea6afafc7925f3a03sfwithout authentication, or if the authenticated user matches the second
e20c6ecbd465cd7dabb44acea6afafc7925f3a03sfargument:</p>

4ca22cf27ccfcefab65ff6c66da12bba69e33948humbedooh available, it is recommended that you use prepared statements whenever possible, to
4ca22cf27ccfcefab65ff6c66da12bba69e33948humbedooh both optimize performance (if your db handle lives on for a long time) and to minimize
4ca22cf27ccfcefab65ff6c66da12bba69e33948humbedooh the risk of SQL injection attacks. <code>run</code> and <code>query</code> should only
4ca22cf27ccfcefab65ff6c66da12bba69e33948humbedooh be used when there are no variables inserted into a statement (a static statement).
4ca22cf27ccfcefab65ff6c66da12bba69e33948humbedooh When using dynamic statements, use <code>db:prepare</code> or <code>db:prepared</code>.

64fdaa4bd37b26a94cf24d544d31e6f39bc6253ehumbedooh execute roughly 2-3 times faster than the rest, because they don't have to

64fdaa4bd37b26a94cf24d544d31e6f39bc6253ehumbedooh even keepalive requests will use a new thread for each request). If you are
64fdaa4bd37b26a94cf24d544d31e6f39bc6253ehumbedooh satisfied that your scripts will not have problems reusing a state, then
64fdaa4bd37b26a94cf24d544d31e6f39bc6253ehumbedooh the <code>thread</code> or <code>server</code> scopes should be used for
64fdaa4bd37b26a94cf24d544d31e6f39bc6253ehumbedooh maximum performance. While the <code>thread</code> scope will provide the
64fdaa4bd37b26a94cf24d544d31e6f39bc6253ehumbedooh fastest responses, the <code>server</code> scope will use less memory, as
64fdaa4bd37b26a94cf24d544d31e6f39bc6253ehumbedooh states are pooled, allowing f.x. 1000 threads to share only 100 Lua states,
396c4422f2dc5e4d199a4f84d4504afa0c2fad8ahumbedooh thus using only 10% of the memory required by the <code>thread</code> scope.
