we discussed having a "blessed" resty.http module a few months ago,
did anyone ever make progress on that?  The lack of control for
somethings when using proxy_pass is annoying.

Forgot to add that this one looks promising:
https://github.com/bsm/lua-resty-http

A lot simpler than others I've seen floating around.

Agreed :)

We indeed need a blessed resty.http library to prevent people
reinventing wheels over and over again :)

Personally I'm still busy fixing minor issues in ngx_lua and adding
new features to the core (like chunked encoding and WebSocket support
in ngx.req.socket, as well as timer_by_lua). I'll return to the
lua-resty-* hacking as soon as I finish the work at hand :)

Cool.  In the meantime, I'm going to do some more testing with the
module I linked to earlier.  I'll be wrapping it in another module
(that does DNS, etc) so if I need to change it out later it won't be a
huge deal to my app.

I was fixing some bugs and annoyances in the lua-http-resty I linked
to and it morphed into this:

This lacks a "config" file which (I think) is needed in order to easily build it with the openresty bundle via "configure --add=module=..."

That's not how you add Lua modules.

Just drop it into your Lua path.  For example on my boxes, I put
openresty in /usr/local/openresty/ and the lua modules are in
/usr/local/openresty/lualib/, so to install this do "mkdir -p
/usr/local/openresty/lualib/resty/http; cp lib/resty/http/simple.lua
/usr/local/openresty/lualib/resty/http" or something like "rsync -av
lib/* /usr/local/openresty/lualib/"

Done from memory, so probably has typos/mistakes. I have some shell
scripts that generate OS packages using fpm.

Oops, right, it's C modules that are added that way (like the ngx_cache_purge module that I already had to include).

Thanks.
