Apache Traffic Server is a fast, scalable and extensible HTTP/1.1 compliant caching proxy server. There are C APIs to let you write your own plug-ins and do something like modifying HTTP headers or modifying the response with additional content. Lua is a fast, powerful, lightweight and embeddable scripting language.
In this talk, we will introduce the new feature that embeds the power of Lua into the software and allows user to write plugins for ATS in Lua. We will also talk the implementation of this feature and our plan on improving and expanding it it.
