So is "rewrite_by_lua" also evil?

The ngx.re API was first introduced in the v0.2.1rc11 release. There's
no wonder that it does not work for you because you're using v0.2.0 :)

Surely you need. Please do that before other attempts :)

Sigh, your ngx_lua module is way too old :)

There's a bunch of important fixes regarding ngx.exec() and ngx.exit()
since the ngx_lua v0.2.0 release.

The latest version is v0.3.1rc9 and please try it out.

Please upgrade your ngx_lua module to the latest version before doing this :)
