Hi There,

I hit the multipart form limitation of the ngx_lua module recently and
wrote a lua module to do the job.

Basically I combined a number of functions from various cgilua modules
and added a few of my own to create a single module.

I have attached a copy and the instructions for calling it are added
as comments at the top of the module.

It will handle both url encoded and multipart encoded forms and return
the post data as a lua key/value pairs
