    A lot of the more advanced HAproxy configs for SSO (think Authelia for example) require the use of Lua scripts which would be fine, but the scripts themselves need to reference OTHER scripts. For example haproxy-auth-request requires the use of haproxy-lua-http which needs to reference a JSON library such as json.lua. You usually will see statement such as local http = require("haproxy-lua-http") which indicates our script very explicitly is looking for that other script.
