You can take a look at how our ngx_lua and ngx_srcache modules do this:

    http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpLuaModule#ngx.location.capture
    http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpSRCacheModule#srcache_fetch

I think maybe you can just use ngx_lua's access_by_lua directly
without writing your own C module for your task ;)
