That's all what we dream about, but the reality of the nginx internals
are sad in various ways and have been preventing us from doing a lot
of fancy things without hacking or even patching :)

You can now do what the "rewrite" directive does in pure Lua since the
latest ngx_lua v0.3.1rc13 release.

Your previous example

location @pretty_urls {
rewrite ^/sometext/xyz\.html$ /abc.html last;
rewrite_by_lua 'ngx.exec("@proxy");';
}

can be rewritten as

location @pretty_urls {
rewrite_by_lua '
if ngx.var.uri == "/sometext/xyz.html" then
return ngx.req.set_uri("/abc.html")
end
ngx.exec("@proxy");
';
}

I think it's also clean and readable as compared to the "rewrite"
directive, but much more flexible.

See the documentation here for details:
http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpLuaModule#ngx.req.set_uri

Glad you like it! And thank YOU for reporting all these issues during
your adventure ;)

Thanks!
