As always, you’re welcome to report bugs and feature requests either
here
or directly to me
It’ll also be highly appreciated to try out the devel releases (based on
the Nginx core 1.0.10+) that are coming out later 
OpenResty (aka. ngx_openresty) is a full-fledged web application server
by
bundling the standard Nginx core, lots of 3rd-party Nginx
moduleshttp://wiki.nginx.org/3rdPartyModules,
as well as most of their external dependencies.
By taking adantage of various well-designed Nginx modules, OpenResty
effectively turns the nginx server into a powerful web app server, in
which
the web developers can use the Lua programming language to script
various
existing nginx C modules and Lua modules and construct extremely
high-performance web applications that is capable to handle 10K+
connections.
OpenResty aims to run your server-side web app completely in the Nginx
server, leveraging Nginx’s event model to do non-blocking I/O not only
with
the HTTP clients, but also with remote backends like MySQL, PostgreSQL,
Memcached, and Redis.
