This code:
        local param = tostring(nmap.registry.args[SCRIPT_NAME .. '.param'])
        local cookie = tostring(nmap.registry.args[SCRIPT_NAME .. '.cookie'])
        local resource = tostring(nmap.registry.args[SCRIPT_NAME .. '.resource'])

Should use stdnse.get_script_args(). I believe the syntax (it's been awhile since I've done this) should be:

local param, cookie, resource = get_script_args('param', 'cookie', 'resource')

That being said, it seems kinda pointless to have a script where the user has to provide a param/cookie/resource. If I 
already have an idea of which param is going to be vulnerable to LFI - and, worse yet, I already know which file I want 
to resource - I don't need Nmap to check it for me. I can just check it in a browser or Burp Suite or any number of 
tools. 

I can only see this being useful if it automatically checks all parameters discovered by http-spider.nse.
