Certainly once mod_lua is more "production ready", we could use that, couldn't we?
One could of course. But not everyone has lua, lua is slower than C, and even doing it in a module instead of core is sometimes more work. For example, currently we set r->protocol to "HTTP/1.0" even if the original request contained junk. So a module would have to re-parse the whole request line to get the protocol string sent by the client.
My goal is something that the vast majority of people would want to activate, and would create pressure on manufacturers of clients that cannot cope with it to fix their clients.
