I am trying to use the Lua module in nginx to set a variable ("foo") based on JSON in the body of a request. Then I want to log the value of that variable to the access log.

Like so: https://gist.github.com/danslimmon/17f5bf4736566737cc65

However, nginx won't start with this configuration. It complains thusly: https://gist.github.com/danslimmon/f5f789d8af8bbb06b224

Here is my "nginx -V" output: https://gist.github.com/danslimmon/9ed99c63aa6c04bd1a41/raw/e73bbdfb1c0ead08dd4df80b936dc233542df8bc/gistfile1.txt

Thoughts? Thanks in advance.
