<p class="MsoNormal">Johan:</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Ben:</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I understand
what you are saying for LUA.
However, I think that if it's made
clear that you do not have access
to (or should not use) the
message, the results should be
predictable. It seems to work for
me.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">My LUA function
is reading in external data and
doesn't make use of the message at
all. Perhaps there might be a way
to provide an empty message to LUA
if it's invoked in TIMER routes
to avoid possible problems? LUA
and Python offer powerful
extendablity to OpenSIPS, so it
seems to me to be a bit of a shame
to limit their use at startup or
in timers if all that's needed is
a tweak - or even just a warning
in the documentation.</p>

</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">As for the
"cache_remove_chunk" - it's less
clear why TIMER couldn't run this
in a straightforward way as it's
not dependent on the current
