I'm not a mod_lua expert, esp as it relates to exposing the full Apache httpd API... it is possible that using r.handler and specifying the proxy may work. > On Dec 18, 2015, at 8:05 AM, Jose Thomas <jostho@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Jim, > > Sorry, I could not find the documentation on how to do this using mod_lua.

I have already ported the first script (routing) to lua.

The idea is to use a "LuaOutputFilter" to check the response code, and then re-execute the request with a different backend. How can i refire the request ? Should i use a lua httpclient library for this ?
