Basically WSAPI offers you full control over the HTTP response, while
SAPI did not. Other than that, WSAPI has an application model where a
function is supposed to return a set of features. SAPI only offered an
API that could be used by applications.

It sure can, Rings is just a way to create separate Lua states for
each request. To use it there is a built in WSAPI application called
wsapi.ringer that can be used as a wrapper for your own application.
