I just need to say that OpenResty is great, and the mailing list is awesome.
After a topic here in HN saying about doing auth in lua+nginx, we successfully migrated our auth from inside the applications (all java) and now it's a 100 LOC of Lua, easy and decoupled from the application.
Doing auth in OpenResty is a good gateway into using it for more stuff, it is really easy to do whatever auth you need without your application having to know.
Are there any Lua libraries targeting openresty that makes it easy to use integrate with oauth2 services of Google, facebook, 4square etc ? Since everyone does oauth differently it would be nice to have a go to library for this.
Yeah, a coworker got excited and did the identicons in Lua too, with openresty generating the png on the first visit of the user. We're a intranet app, in a company with 120k workers, some with intranet only access.

Do you have the link for that topic ?
