nginx.conf

        location /lua {
            content_by_lua 'ngx.say("hello lworld")';
        }

        location /mruby {
            mruby_content_handler_code 'Nginx.rputs "hello mworld\n"';
        }

Would be nice to know if this is using Lua or LuaJit? (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19056429/how-to-check-if-nginx-uses-luajit-and-not-lua)

@matsumoto-r It's hugely important - did you use Lua or LuaJIT?
