Lighttpd

This patch makes the CGI environment accessible to lua scripts via mod_magnet.
I tested both get and set methods during both directives: magnet.attract-raw-url-to and magnet.attract-physical-path-to.

The 'lighty' namespace is extended with a new table: lighty.cgi.

Example¶

print("KRB5CCNAME: " .. lighty.cgi["KRB5CCNAME"] .. " (" .. string.len(lighty.cgi["KRB5CCNAME"]) .. ")")
-- os.spawn('aklog', env={'KRB5CCNAME': lighty.cgi["KRB5CCNAME"]})

Output:
2009-04-27 10:12:10 (mod_magnet.c:197) (lua-print) KRB5CCNAME: /tmp/krb5cc_gssapi_AE3Gxu (25)

Other Notes¶

As you might have guessed from my example, I developed this for use with the KRB5CCNAME environment variable that is set by my GSSAPI patch: Feature #1899. There are endless uses for this feature, however.
