Hi,

André got things a little mixed up. :-)

The URL above is wrong. The blog example is part of Orbit, at

http://www.lua.inf.puc-rio.br/svn/lablua/orbit-2.0/trunk

It's inside samples, and includes a db filled with random data.  
Depends on WSAPI (http://www.lua.inf.puc-rio.br/svn/lablua/wsapi/ 
trunk) and LuaSQL/SQLite3 (fetch the HEAD of LuaSQL's repository at  
LuaForge), and obviously Xavante (just install the Kepler base!).

http://www.lua.inf.puc-rio.br/svn/lablua/wsapi/trunk is not an  
implementation of WSAPI per se. I will probably move Orbit/Xavante's  
wsapihandler.lua to there eventually, as well other WSAPI handlers as  
they appear. The WSAPI repo currently houses the Request/Response  
helpers (which Orbit uses), as André says below..
