Web.lua

[PA <petite.abeille@...>]

Hello,

In the tradition of Web.py [1], here is a Lua incarnation of its URL 
handling [2].

Notorious "Hello world" example:

local aFunction = function( aName )
        print( "Hello ", aName, "!" )
end

local someMappings = { "/(.*)", aFunction }

Web:start( someMappings )

http://localhost:1080/Earthling

> Hello Earthling!

Web:start() takes an orderer table of pattern/handler pairs.

The pattern captures, if any, are passed to the handler as arguments.

An handler can be either a function, a class name or a class. If the 
handler is a function, it's invoked without further ado. In the case of 
a class, the relevant method is looked up and then invoked (e.g. GET -> 
get() ).
