I'm interested in knowing how you did it in mod_python. Do you use an external http lib and process the result yourself? That's certainly also possible with mod_lua. With regards, Daniel.

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 ?
