This always happens if you rip a thing apart: you see more things that should be cleaned up. My first experiments are a bit done:

server = {
        name = "my.example.org",
        modules = {
                "mod_indexfile" 
        },
        ["errorfile-prefix"] = "foobar",
}

sockets = {
        [":80"] = {
                server = { name = "foo.example.org" },
                HTTP = { url = function(url)
                        if url == "foo" then
                                server.name = "baz.example.org" 
                        end
                end },
        }
}

sockets[":80"].HTTP.url("foo")
print(server.name)

This is a first idea. It shows how the LUA syntax isn’t sooo different from our current config syntax.

• The global variables, stay global as now.
• socket conditionals is now a simple array of sockets
• conditionals are functions, now you can do what you want with it

I hope that I can handle the full config syntax into this structure. For now it is looks more appealing that ripping the old config-parser code apart and turn it into glib-notation. With all the conditionals and types we basicly have implemented our own scripting language.

Let’s see where this leads too.
