I have a few other URLs that don't belong to Drupal. If these URLs are received on port 80, they get redirected to port 443 using mod_rewrite. The problem is drupal.lua script will cause non-Drupal URLs to simply get into a redirection loop. So, for example:

http://blog.example.org/nondrupalurl will send constant 301s back to the browser until it times out. What I had to do at the top of drupal.lua was this:

if lighty.env['uri.path']:match('nondrupalurl') then
--  print('URI Path Match ' .. lighty.env['uri.path'])
  return
end

So far, this solution works but it's not very elegant, especially if there are a bunch of non-Drupal URLs. My site only has two, so it's not that big of a deal to hard code this into drupal.lua.

The other thing I'd like to know is how do you do your Lua dev?
