An Apache module to extend mod_lua

mod_luaex is a module for apache2 that extends mod_lua to support socache, session, filter and other, making it more flexible.

Introduction

Back in 2005, I began writing my own mod_lua, inspired by mod_python. A few years later I was glad to see the official mod_lua came out. Because some functionality is missing in the official version, I need to write a ext module.

mod_luaex does not replace mod_lua, it works after mod_lua is enabled and actived. mod_luaex depends on mod_lua, as well as mod_dbd, mod_session and mod_socache.

The target environment is Apache HTTPd 2.4
