ts-lua - Embed the Power of Lua into Apache TrafficServer.

This module is under active development and is production ready.

This document describes ts-lua v0.1.7 released on 31 May 2015. It can work with Apache TrafficServer v4.x, v5.x.

##Synopsis hdr.lua

function send_response()
    ts.client_response.header['Rhost'] = ts.ctx['rhost']
    return 0
end

function do_remap()
    local req_host = ts.client_request.header.Host
    ts.ctx['rhost'] = string.reverse(req_host)
    ts.hook(TS_LUA_HOOK_SEND_RESPONSE_HDR, send_response)
    return 0
end

sethost.lua

local HOSTNAME = ''

function __init__(argtb)
    if (#argtb) < 1 then
        print(argtb[0], 'hostname parameter required!!')
        return -1
    end
    HOSTNAME = argtb[1]
end

function do_remap()
    ts.client_request.header['Host'] = HOSTNAME
    return 0
end

This module embeds Lua, via the standard Lua 5.1 interpreter, into Apache Traffic Server. This module acts as remap plugin of Traffic Server, so we should realize 'do_remap' function in each lua script. We can write this in remap.config:

map http://a.foo.com/ http://inner.foo.com/ @plugin=/X/libtslua.so @pparam=/X/hdr.lua

Sometimes we want to receive parameters and process them in the script, we should realize '_init_' function in the lua script(sethost.lua is a reference), and we can write this in remap.config:

map http://a.foo.com/ http://b.foo.com/ @plugin=/X/libtslua.so @pparam=/X/sethost.lua @pparam=a.st.com

• linux/freebsd 64bits
• trafficserver
• pcre
• tcl
• openssl
• lua-5.1

step1: get ts-lua

git clone https://github.com/portl4t/ts-lua.git
cd ts-lua/src

step2: modify Makefile to insure INC_PATH and LIB_PATH is right for trafficserver, lua-5.1 and tcl

make

step3: modify remap.config and restart the trafficserver
