Lighttpd

Here's a patch against 1.4.16, that adds the two missing table entries.

As both values are stored as integer in the request struct, I added an argument "needs_free" to the magnet_env_get_buffer() function, which indicates that the returned buffer has to be free'd. An alternative approach would be to store the two fields in the request structure, but this one is less intrusive.

since we are talking about LUA which is very flexible.

Why not just return the request.request(or request.request_line) and let the lua script parse the method and version ?

As even though these 2 parameter are documented, they are not usable(i.e. no existing code is using them). So may be just drop them and have a new "request.request_line" ?

Just have to remember to disable the env set method as they should not be settable.
