4b2d52ed83bf31730c8b6bbe7c06d806dc3a0c4erbowenThe basic module loading directive is
4b2d52ed83bf31730c8b6bbe7c06d806dc3a0c4erbowen<code>mod_lua</code> provides a handler named <code>lua-script</code>,
4b2d52ed83bf31730c8b6bbe7c06d806dc3a0c4erbowenwhich can be used with an <code>AddHandler</code> directive:</p>
4b2d52ed83bf31730c8b6bbe7c06d806dc3a0c4erbowenAddHandler lua-script .lua
4b2d52ed83bf31730c8b6bbe7c06d806dc3a0c4erbowenThis will cause any <code>.lua</code> file to be evaluated by
e27eee5caa6c1bf3853c11253ae82303cff0e40brbowen<section id="writinghandlers"><title>Writing Handlers</title>
e27eee5caa6c1bf3853c11253ae82303cff0e40brbowen<p><code>mod_lua</code> always looks to invoke a function for the handler, rather than
e27eee5caa6c1bf3853c11253ae82303cff0e40brbowenjust evaluating a script body CGI style. A handler function looks
e27eee5caa6c1bf3853c11253ae82303cff0e40brbowensomething like this:</p>
e27eee5caa6c1bf3853c11253ae82303cff0e40brbowen require "string"
e27eee5caa6c1bf3853c11253ae82303cff0e40brbowen function handle_something(r)
e27eee5caa6c1bf3853c11253ae82303cff0e40brbowen r:puts("Hello Lua World!\n")
e27eee5caa6c1bf3853c11253ae82303cff0e40brbowen if r.method == 'GET' then
e27eee5caa6c1bf3853c11253ae82303cff0e40brbowen for k, v in pairs( r:parseargs() ) do
e27eee5caa6c1bf3853c11253ae82303cff0e40brbowen r:puts( string.format("%s: %s", k, v) )
e27eee5caa6c1bf3853c11253ae82303cff0e40brbowen elseif r.method == 'POST' then
e27eee5caa6c1bf3853c11253ae82303cff0e40brbowen for k, v in pairs( r:parsebody() ) do
e27eee5caa6c1bf3853c11253ae82303cff0e40brbowen r:puts( string.format("%s: %s", k, v) )
e27eee5caa6c1bf3853c11253ae82303cff0e40brbowen r:puts("unknown HTTP method " .. r.method)
e27eee5caa6c1bf3853c11253ae82303cff0e40brbowenThis handler function just prints out the uri or form encoded
e27eee5caa6c1bf3853c11253ae82303cff0e40brbowenarguments to a plaintext page.
e27eee5caa6c1bf3853c11253ae82303cff0e40brbowenThis means (and in fact encourages) that you can have multiple
e27eee5caa6c1bf3853c11253ae82303cff0e40brbowenhandlers (or hooks, or filters) in the same script.
e27eee5caa6c1bf3853c11253ae82303cff0e40brbowen<section id="datastructures"><title>Data Structures</title>
e27eee5caa6c1bf3853c11253ae82303cff0e40brbowen <p>The request_rec is mapped in as a userdata. It has a metatable
e27eee5caa6c1bf3853c11253ae82303cff0e40brbowen which lets you do useful things with it. For the most part it
e27eee5caa6c1bf3853c11253ae82303cff0e40brbowen has the same fields as the request_rec struct (see httpd.h
e27eee5caa6c1bf3853c11253ae82303cff0e40brbowen until we get better docs here) many of which are writeable as
e27eee5caa6c1bf3853c11253ae82303cff0e40brbowen well as readable, and has (at least) the following methods:</p>
e27eee5caa6c1bf3853c11253ae82303cff0e40brbowen r:puts("hello", " world", "!") -- print to response body
