Lua Socket
From Spring
LuaSocket is a development branch of spring:
see https://github.com/spring/spring/tree/luasocket
example code
see https://github.com/spring/spring/blob/luasocket/cont/examples/Widgets/luasocket.lua
Notes / known issues / TODO
- dns resolving is blocking
- allow rules have exactly match the host:port in script. currently its not possible to use host:port in a lua widget and use the resolved hostname for connecting (and vice versa) (simple workaround, add both as rule)
- socket=require("socket") is needed
- most lua scripts from luasocket won't work as they are blocking! rewriting them non-blocking is required! (should be in most cases few work, as parsing stuff can be reused)
- udp sendto isn't checked, only binding the udp-socket
