Building an API wrapper around Lua http client probably is not enough, because local API should be performed through FauxRequest (but still no POST emulation?). I don't know how PHP and Lua can bind to each other. I know a local pro in Lua working in local uni CS lab, however he does not work with MediaWiki. Lua is used for macros and automation in C / C++ projects.
