Daniel Rampel has forked Ladle and is adding support
for POST requests, Lua scripting (Lua pages/scripts), etc.

Please see:

https://github.com/danielrempel/ladle

I would strongly recommend that you use his fork
rather than the original project listed here.

Ladle (lua-web-server) was originally a project on Google Code,
the original code has been ported as-is to Github because
Google Code is being shut down.
