GSoC 2014: Lua Scripting Support for Monkey, Week 3

I started out populating the the lua environment where the scripts will be executed using the lua C api. I am pushing a global lua table mk for the time being which would contain all the variables and functions that I am currently implementing.I have a function mk.print that will buffer everything and print to a static file. Currently we will have 3 tables under monkey, config, request and response. The request table will all the request headers in native lua types and the response table will have the defaults, which when modified read back to set response headers.

request and config table have been implemented, response is yet to be implemented and and the already implemented tables could use some polish.

I have also added an example lua script which shows how the current api looks like.

Next Week

• Finish up the environment preparation
• Start Working on thread safe lua execution

CODE: I moved the plugin code to a new repo github
