Apache HTTP Server Version 2.4
Apache HTTP Server Version 2.4
| Description: | Provides Lua hooks into various portions of the httpd request processing |
|---|---|
| Status: | Extension |
| Module Identifier: | lua_module |
| Source File: | mod_lua.c |
| Compatibility: | 2.3 and later |
This module allows the server to be extended with scripts written in the
Lua programming language. The extension points (hooks) available with
mod_lua include many of the hooks available to
natively compiled Apache HTTP Server modules, such as mapping requests to
files, generating dynamic responses, access control, authentication, and
authorization
More information on the Lua programming language can be found at the the Lua website.
This module holds a great deal of power over httpd, which is both a strength and a potential security risk. It is not recommended that you use this module on a server that is shared with users you do not trust, as it can be abused to change the internal workings of httpd.
