I wouldn't say it's unique, just rare. GLV-1.12556 [1] is also easy to expand
but instead of looking for executable scripts [2], it uses Lua's module
system. These modules [3] used to return the data as Space-Age, but I
switched to a streaming model to save memory usage [4].

[2] With GLV-1.12556, executable scripts are treated as CGI scripts.
[3] And it's *all* modules---even serving up files from a directory is
done using this mechanism.
[4] Some resources served up by my server can be quite large.

Thanks for the tip, Sean. I hadn't realized you had also used afunctional programming model for your Lua CGI scripts.

Always something new to learn, Gary
