Re: [ANNOUNCE] luahttpd

Very nice Javier!

I also have been working on a lua httpd!

Mine lacks the elegance of yours, but I'm trying to implement mine
strictly with coroutines, where a socket send or receive will yield
the thread to a scheduler that's heart is a select statement (blocking
on the very sends/receives in each thread).

Lua scripts started from the server would be sandboxed to prevent
crashing/hanging where possible, and provided a send() and receive()
function that "plays nice" with the scheduler.

My code is monsterously nasty right now, but I'm hoping I can borrow
(steal) some ideas in your code and release it when it looks better.

Let me know your thoughts...

Blessings!
