<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="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>

<h2><a name="basicconf" id="basicconf">Basic Configuration</a></h2>
<p>The basic module loading directive is</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-config">LoadModule lua_module modules/mod_lua.so</pre>
<p>
<code>mod_lua</code> provides a handler named <code>lua-script</code>,
which can be used with a <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#sethandler">SetHandler</a></code> or
<code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_mime.html#addhandler">AddHandler</a></code> directive:</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-config"><Files "*.lua">
SetHandler lua-script
</Files></pre>
<p>
This will cause <code>mod_lua</code> to handle requests for files
ending in <code>.lua</code> by invoking that file's
<code>handle</code> function.
</p>
<p>For more flexibility, see <code class="directive">LuaMapHandler</code>.
</p>
</div><div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="../images/up.gif" /></a></div>
<div class="section">
<h2><a name="writinghandlers" id="writinghandlers">Writing Handlers</a></h2>
<p> In the Apache HTTP Server API, the handler is a specific kind of hook
responsible for generating the response. Examples of modules that include a
handler are <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy.html">mod_proxy</a></code>, <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_cgi.html">mod_cgi</a></code>,
and <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_status.html">mod_status</a></code>.</p>
<p><code>mod_lua</code> always looks to invoke a Lua function for the handler, rather than
just evaluating a script body CGI style. A handler function looks
something like this:</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-lua">
<strong>example.lua</strong><br />
-- example handler
require "string"
--[[
This is the default method name for Lua handlers, see the optional
function-name in the LuaMapHandler directive to choose a different
entry point.
--]]
function handle(r)
r.content_type = "text/plain"
if r.method == 'GET' then
r:puts("Hello Lua World!\n")
for k, v in pairs( r:parseargs() ) do
r:puts( string.format("%s: %s\n", k, v) )
end
elseif r.method == 'POST' then
r:puts("Hello Lua World!\n")
for k, v in pairs( r:parsebody() ) do
r:puts( string.format("%s: %s\n", k, v) )
end
elseif r.method == 'PUT' then
-- use our own Error contents
r:puts("Unsupported HTTP method " .. r.method)
r.status = 405
return apache2.OK
else
-- use the ErrorDocument
return 501
end
return apache2.OK
end</pre>
<p>
This handler function just prints out the uri or form encoded
arguments to a plaintext page.
</p>
<p>
This means (and in fact encourages) that you can have multiple
handlers (or hooks, or filters) in the same script.
</p>

<div class="section">
<h2><a name="writingauthzproviders" id="writingauthzproviders">Writing Authorization Providers</a></h2>
<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>.
This will cause authentication to proceed and the authz provider to be
called a second time.</p>
<p>The following authz provider function takes two arguments, one ip
address and one user name. It will allow access from the given ip address
without authentication, or if the authenticated user matches the second
argument:</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-lua">
<strong>authz_provider.lua</strong><br />
require 'apache2'
function authz_check_foo(r, ip, user)
if r.useragent_ip == ip then
return apache2.AUTHZ_GRANTED
elseif r.user == nil then
return apache2.AUTHZ_DENIED_NO_USER
elseif r.user == user then
return apache2.AUTHZ_GRANTED
else
return apache2.AUTHZ_DENIED
end
end</pre>
<p>The following configuration registers this function as provider
<code>foo</code> and configures it for URL <code>/</code>:</p>

<h2><a name="writinghooks" id="writinghooks">Writing Hooks</a></h2>
<p>Hook functions are how modules (and Lua scripts) participate in the
processing of requests. Each type of hook exposed by the server exists for
a specific purpose, such as mapping requests to the file system,
performing access control, or setting mime types:</p>

which logs the request in either the error or access log. Mod_lua
is able to hook into the start of this and control logging output.</td>

<p>Hook functions are passed the request object as their only argument
(except for LuaAuthzProvider, which also gets passed the arguments from
the Require directive).
They can return any value, depending on the hook, but most commonly
they'll return OK, DONE, or DECLINED, which you can write in Lua as
<code>apache2.OK</code>, <code>apache2.DONE</code>, or
<code>apache2.DECLINED</code>, or else an HTTP status code.</p>

Filter functions implemented via <code class="directive"><a href="#luainputfilter">LuaInputFilter</a></code>
or <code class="directive"><a href="#luaoutputfilter">LuaOutputFilter</a></code> are designed as
three-stage non-blocking functions using coroutines to suspend and resume a
function as buckets are sent down the filter chain. The core structure of
such a function is:
</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-lua">function filter(r)
-- Our first yield is to signal that we are ready to receive buckets.
-- Before this yield, we can set up our environment, check for conditions,
-- and, if we deem it necessary, decline filtering a request altogether:
if something_bad then
return -- This would skip this filter.
end
-- Regardless of whether we have data to prepend, a yield MUST be called here.
-- Note that only output filters can prepend data. Input filters must use the
-- final stage to append data to the content.
coroutine.yield([optional header to be prepended to the content])
-- After we have yielded, buckets will be sent to us, one by one, and we can
-- do whatever we want with them and then pass on the result.
-- Buckets are stored in the global variable 'bucket', so we create a loop
-- that checks if 'bucket' is not nil:
while bucket ~= nil do
local output = mangle(bucket) -- Do some stuff to the content
coroutine.yield(output) -- Return our new content to the filter chain
end
-- Once the buckets are gone, 'bucket' is set to nil, which will exit the
-- loop and land us here. Anything extra we want to append to the content
-- can be done by doing a final yield here. Both input and output filters
-- can append data to the content in this phase.

<h2><a name="databases" id="databases">Database connectivity</a></h2>
<p>
Mod_lua implements a simple database feature for querying and running commands
on the most popular database engines (mySQL, PostgreSQL, FreeTDS, ODBC, SQLite, Oracle)
as well as mod_dbd.</p>
<p>
The <code>dbType</code> to use as the first parameter of <code>dbacquire</code>
is case sensitive.</p>
<p>
It should be one of <code>mysql</code>, <code>pgsql</code>, <code>freetds</code>,
<code>odbc</code>, <code>sqlite2</code>, <code>sqlite3</code>, <code>oracle</code>
or <code>mod_dbd</code>.
</p>
<p>The example below shows how to acquire a database handle and return information from a table:</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-lua">function handle(r)
-- Acquire a database handle
local database, err = r:dbacquire("mysql", "server=localhost,user=someuser,pass=somepass,dbname=mydb")
if not err then
-- Select some information from it
local results, err = database:select(r, "SELECT `name`, `age` FROM `people` WHERE 1")
if not err then
local rows = results(0) -- fetch all rows synchronously
for k, row in pairs(rows) do
r:puts( string.format("Name: %s, Age: %s<br/>", row[1], row[2]) )
end
else
r:puts("Database query error: " .. err)
end
database:close()
else
r:puts("Could not connect to the database: " .. err)
end
end</pre>
<p>
To utilize <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_dbd.html">mod_dbd</a></code>, specify <code>mod_dbd</code>
as the database type, or leave the field blank:
</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-lua">local database = r:dbacquire("mod_dbd")</pre>
<h3><a name="database_object" id="database_object">Database object and contained functions</a></h3>
<p>The database object returned by <code>dbacquire</code> has the following methods:</p>
<p><strong>Normal select and query from a database:</strong></p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-lua">-- Run a statement and return the number of rows affected:
local affected, errmsg = database:query(r, "DELETE FROM `tbl` WHERE 1")
-- Run a statement and return a result set that can be used synchronously or async:
local result, errmsg = database:select(r, "SELECT * FROM `people` WHERE 1")</pre>
<p><strong>Using prepared statements (recommended):</strong></p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-lua">-- Create and run a prepared statement:
local statement, errmsg = database:prepare(r, "DELETE FROM `tbl` WHERE `age` > %u")
if not errmsg then
local result, errmsg = statement:query(20) -- run the statement with age > 20
end
-- Fetch a prepared statement from a DBDPrepareSQL directive:
local statement, errmsg = database:prepared(r, "someTag")
if not errmsg then
local result, errmsg = statement:select("John Doe", 123) -- inject the values "John Doe" and 123 into the statement
end</pre>
<p><strong>Escaping values, closing databases etc:</strong></p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-lua">-- Escape a value for use in a statement:
local escaped = database:escape(r, [["'|blabla]])
-- Close a database connection and free up handles:
database:close()
-- Check whether a database connection is up and running:
local connected = database:active()</pre>
<h3><a name="result_sets" id="result_sets">Working with result sets</a></h3>
<p>The result set returned by <code>db:select</code> or by the prepared statement functions
created through <code>db:prepare</code> can be used to
fetch rows synchronously or asynchronously, depending on the row number specified:<br />
<code>result(0)</code> fetches all rows in a synchronous manner, returning a table of rows.<br />
<code>result(-1)</code> fetches the next available row in the set, asynchronously.<br />
<code>result(N)</code> fetches row number <code>N</code>, asynchronously:
</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-lua">-- fetch a result set using a regular query:
local result, err = db:select(r, "SELECT * FROM `tbl` WHERE 1")
local rows = result(0) -- Fetch ALL rows synchronously
local row = result(-1) -- Fetch the next available row, asynchronously
local row = result(1234) -- Fetch row number 1234, asynchronously
local row = result(-1, true) -- Fetch the next available row, using row names as key indexes.</pre>
<p>One can construct a function that returns an iterative function to iterate over all rows
in a synchronous or asynchronous way, depending on the async argument:
</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-lua">function rows(resultset, async)
local a = 0
local function getnext()
a = a + 1
local row = resultset(-1)
return row and a or nil, row
end
if not async then
return pairs(resultset(0))
else
return getnext, self
end
end
local statement, err = db:prepare(r, "SELECT * FROM `tbl` WHERE `age` > %u")
if not err then
-- fetch rows asynchronously:
local result, err = statement:select(20)
if not err then
for index, row in rows(result, true) do
....
end
end
-- fetch rows synchronously:
local result, err = statement:select(20)
if not err then
for index, row in rows(result, false) do
....
end
end
end</pre>
<h3><a name="closing_databases" id="closing_databases">Closing a database connection</a></h3>
<p>Database handles should be closed using <code>database:close()</code> when they are no longer
needed. If you do not close them manually, they will eventually be garbage collected and
closed by mod_lua, but you may end up having too many unused connections to the database
if you leave the closing up to mod_lua. Essentially, the following two measures are
the same:
</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-lua">-- Method 1: Manually close a handle
local database = r:dbacquire("mod_dbd")
database:close() -- All done
-- Method 2: Letting the garbage collector close it
local database = r:dbacquire("mod_dbd")
database = nil -- throw away the reference
collectgarbage() -- close the handle via GC</pre>
<h3><a name="database_caveat" id="database_caveat">Precautions when working with databases</a></h3>
<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>.

Specify the behavior of the in-memory code cache. The default
is stat, which stats the top level script (not any included
ones) each time that file is needed, and reloads it if the
modified time indicates it is newer than the one it has
already loaded. The other values cause it to keep the file
cached forever (don't stat and replace) or to never cache the
file.</p>
<p>In general stat or forever is good for production, and stat or never
for development.</p>

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.
</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-config">LuaHookLog "/path/to/script.lua" logger</pre>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-lua">-- /path/to/script.lua --
function logger(r)
-- flip a coin:
-- If 1, then we write to our own Lua log and tell httpd not to log
-- in the main log.
-- If 2, then we just sanitize the output a bit and tell httpd to
-- log the sanitized bits.
if math.random(1,2) == 1 then
-- Log stuff ourselves and don't log in the regular log
local f = io.open("/foo/secret.log", "a")
if f then
f:write("Something secret happened at " .. r.uri .. "\n")
f:close()
end
return apache2.DONE -- Tell httpd not to use the regular logging functions
else
r.uri = r.uri:gsub("somesecretstuff", "") -- sanitize the URI
return apache2.OK -- tell httpd to log it.

Add a hook (at APR_HOOK_MIDDLE) to the translate name phase of
request processing. The hook function receives a single
argument, the request_rec, and should return a status code,
which is either an HTTP error code, or the constants defined
in the apache2 module: apache2.OK, apache2.DECLINED, or
apache2.DONE. </p>
<p>For those new to hooks, basically each hook will be invoked
until one of them returns apache2.OK. If your hook doesn't
want to do the translation it should just return
apache2.DECLINED. If the request should stop processing, then
return apache2.DONE.</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-config"># httpd.conf
LuaHookTranslateName "/scripts/conf/hooks.lua" silly_mapper</pre>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-lua">-- /scripts/conf/hooks.lua --
require "apache2"
function silly_mapper(r)

r.filename = "/var/www/home.lua"
return apache2.OK

This phase is where requests are assigned a content type and a handler, and thus can
be used to modify the type and handler based on input:

<p>Provides a means of adding a Lua function as an input filter.
As with output filters, input filters work as coroutines,
first yielding before buffers are sent, then yielding whenever
a bucket needs to be passed down the chain, and finally (optionally)
yielding anything that needs to be appended to the input data. The
global variable <code>bucket</code> holds the buckets as they are passed
onto the Lua script:
</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-config">LuaInputFilter myInputFilter "/www/filter.lua" input_filter
<Files "*.lua">
SetInputFilter myInputFilter
</Files></pre>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-lua">--[[
Example input filter that converts all POST data to uppercase.
]]--
function input_filter(r)
print("luaInputFilter called") -- debug print
coroutine.yield() -- Yield and wait for buckets
while bucket do -- For each bucket, do...
local output = string.upper(bucket) -- Convert all POST data to uppercase
coroutine.yield(output) -- Send converted data down the chain
end
-- No more buckets available.
coroutine.yield("&filterSignature=1234") -- Append signature at the end
end</pre>
<p>
The input filter supports denying/skipping a filter if it is deemed unwanted:
</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-lua">function input_filter(r)
if not good then
return -- Simply deny filtering, passing on the original content instead
end
coroutine.yield() -- wait for buckets

<p>This directive matches a uri pattern to invoke a specific
handler function in a specific file. It uses PCRE regular
expressions to match the uri, and supports interpolating
match groups into both the file path and the function name.
Be careful writing your regular expressions to avoid security
issues.</p>
<div class="example"><h3>Examples:</h3><pre class="prettyprint lang-config">LuaMapHandler "/(\w+)/(\w+)" "/scripts/$1.lua" "handle_$2"</pre>
</div>
<p>This would match uri's such as /photos/show?id=9
to the file /scripts/photos.lua and invoke the
handler function handle_show on the lua vm after
loading that file.</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-config">LuaMapHandler "/bingo" "/scripts/wombat.lua"</pre>
<p>This would invoke the "handle" function, which
is the default if no specific function name is
provided.</p>

in, or to serve a request without the need to translate, map to storage et cetera.

<dt>once:</dt> <dd>use the interpreter once and throw it away.</dd>
<dt>request:</dt> <dd>use the interpreter to handle anything based on
the same file within this request, which is also

<dt>conn:</dt> <dd>Same as request but attached to the connection_rec</dd>
<dt>thread:</dt> <dd>Use the interpreter for the lifetime of the thread
handling the request (only available with threaded MPMs).</dd>
<dt>server:</dt> <dd>This one is different than others because the
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.
