I fixed up the code quite a bit and submitted it on irc, it cleanly detects vulnerable and patched hosts now.

The issue with the script as-is is, once the vuln is patched, it'll keep 
reporting it's vulnerable, I think, unless they just delete the file. if 
you try to grab a "bad" file (like /etc/shadow), everything seem to work 
fine. 

There are some fixes around already. By fixing the LFI, the HTTP response status 
won't be 200, so the script will not return a false positive. 

It works if I switch out the string.match() with "==". 

I don't know why, though! 

That's because Lua string.match() method expects a pattern as a second argument 
(not a raw string) and the special "-" character is interpreted as the Lua 
modifier for repetitions. Thanks for cathing this.
