Hey, thanks for mentioning rand, I didn't know about it... With some rand()s I was able to generate a UUID, I'll have to do some performance checks, but I think it will be fair enough. Then we don't need a %uuid or similar from my point of view.

In this case, I'd suggest to use LUA for this, maybe by using some library like lua-resty-jit-uuid [2].
