Do you think any examples like:
<pre>
Ns_Log(Debug, "opening lua state");
</pre>

Would be useful here?

----

What about proper termination:
<pre>
Ns_RegisterShutdown(MyLuaCleanup, ...);
</pre>

----

Also eventually the reader may need to learn about <pre>Ns_ConfigGetValue</pre> to complete more complex tasks.

I honestly don't know how to go about building or configuring a ".lua" extension handler. The full-fledged example I would look at (PyWX) is a great example of a C++ module, but it's a bit difficult for me to translate what's going on in PyWX to what I should do for Lua with a C module. I might be able to work out the extension handler portion, but getting Lua's "print" to output correctly might be tricky. -- --[[User:Caveman|Caveman]] 08:42, 6 December 2005 (EST)

== apache mod_lua link ==

There is an Apache "mod_lua" on Sourceforge that could be useful for a "real" nslua module developer:
