| <h3>Summary</h3>
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| <p>This module allows the server to be extended with scripts written in the
 | ||
| Lua programming language.  The extension points (hooks) available with
 | ||
| <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_lua.html">mod_lua</a></code> 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</p>
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| <p>More information on the Lua programming language can be found at the
 | ||
| <a href="http://www.lua.org/">the Lua website</a>.</p>
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| <div class="note"><code>mod_lua</code> is still in experimental state.
 | ||
| Until it is declared stable, usage and behavior may change
 | ||
| at any time, even between stable releases of the 2.4.x series.
 | ||
| Be sure to check the CHANGES file before upgrading.</div>
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| <div class="warning"><h3>Warning</h3>
 | ||
| <p>This module holds a great deal of power over httpd, which is both a
 | ||
| strength and a potential security risk. It is <strong>not</strong> 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.</p>

|

| <p><code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_authz_core.html">mod_authz_core</a></code> provides a high-level interface to
 | ||
| authorization that is much easier to use than using into the relevant
 | ||
| hooks directly. The first argument to the
 | ||
| <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_authz_core.html#require">Require</a></code> directive gives
 | ||
| the name of the responsible authorization provider. For any
 | ||
| <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_authz_core.html#require">Require</a></code> line,
 | ||
| <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_authz_core.html">mod_authz_core</a></code> will call the authorization provider
 | ||
| of the given name, passing the rest of the line as parameters. The
 | ||
| provider will then check authorization and pass the result as return
 | ||
| value.</p>
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| <p>The authz provider is normally called before authentication. If it needs to
 | ||
| know the authenticated user name (or if the user will be authenticated at

| all), the provider must return <code>apache2.AUTHZ_DENIED_NO_USER</code>.

| called a second time.</p>

 | ||
| address and one user name. It will allow access from the given ip address

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

|     This simple logging hook allows you to run a function when httpd enters the
 | ||
|     logging phase of a request. With it, you can append data to your own logs,
 | ||
|     manipulate data before the regular log is written, or prevent a log entry
 | ||
|     from being created. To prevent the usual logging from happening, simply return
 | ||
|     <code>apache2.DONE</code> in your logging handler, otherwise return
 | ||
|     <code>apache2.OK</code> to tell httpd to log as normal.

 | ||
|             server scope is quite long lived, and multiple threads
 | ||
|             will have the same server_rec. To accommodate this,
 | ||
|             server scoped Lua states are stored in an apr
 | ||
|             resource list. The <code>min</code> and <code>max</code> arguments
 | ||
|             specify the minimum and maximum number of Lua states to keep in the
 | ||
|             pool.</dd>
 | ||
|    </dl>
 | ||
|     <p>
 | ||
|     Generally speaking, the <code>thread</code> and <code>server</code> scopes
 | ||
|     execute roughly 2-3 times faster than the rest, because they don't have to
 | ||
|     spawn new Lua states on every request (especially with the event MPM, as
 | ||
|     even keepalive requests will use a new thread for each request). If you are
 | ||
|     satisfied that your scripts will not have problems reusing a state, then
 | ||
|     the <code>thread</code> or <code>server</code> scopes should be used for
 | ||
|     maximum performance. While the <code>thread</code> scope will provide the
 | ||
|     fastest responses, the <code>server</code> scope will use less memory, as
 | ||
|     states are pooled, allowing f.x. 1000 threads to share only 100 Lua states,
 | ||
|     thus using only 10% of the memory required by the <code>thread</code> scope.
