And a note to anybody interested in doing CGI (or HTTP GET/POST) related
stuff, there'S some nice Lua Scripts in that package for decoding GET/POST
data. Very usefull!

(Maybe one could extract them and put them in the Lua standard Library
pages on the Wiki?)


Now THAT (extraction to the Wiki) seems like a worthy goal for most Lua
systems & applications that are not propriety. Making a source library of
various useful modules that people have created as a part of their projects.

Well basically what is holding me (and maybe others) back is the fact that it's none-of-my-code. It's a question of someone external taking that code and posting it on the wiki. But I think maybe thats just what should be done. As the authors of the code often don't have a need for such a central repisitory of sample code (the wrote it after all).

So here is my general question to list members and the authors of said CGILua in particular: is it ok to take elements that can be reused from packages and post them to the Wiki as sample code? (Full author and source credits would be supplied if possible or wanted)? Same goes for code posted to this List of course.
