This directory contains the implementation of the protocols FTP, HTTP
and SMTP, the URL parsing and composition module and the Concat and Code
auxiliary modules. The files provided are:
This release is work in progress. It has been tested on WinXP, Mac OS X,
SunOS and Linux. The most important change is a major rewrite of the C code
that attempts to make the library extensible. Also, all functions were
moved to the 'socket' namespace. A few changes are expected for the final
version, mostly in order to make the API more uniform.
http.lua -- HTTP protocol implementation
In this version, all Lua code has been built into the binary. For that, you
will need a working versions of luac and bin2c, both available with your
Lua distribution. Check makefile for details.
The module http.lua provides general HTTP client support. The
implementation conforms to the HTTP/1.1 standard, RFC 2068.
smtp.lua -- SMTP protocol implementation
The module smtp.lua provides functionality to send e-mail messages to a
SMTP mail server. The implementation conforms to RFC 821.
ftp.lua -- FTP protocol implementation
The module ftp.lua provides functions to download and upload files from
and to FTP servers. The implementation conforms to RFC 959.
url.lua -- URL parsing and composition
The module url.lua provides routines to split a URL into its components
and to compose a base URL and relative URL into an absolute URL.
code.lua -- some coding conversion routines
The code.lua module provides base64, hexa and escaped encoding and
decoding. The module is used for the HTTP Basic Authentication Scheme,
and URL protection, conforming to RFC 2045.
concat.lua -- fast concatenation library
The module concat.lua implements, completely in Lua, a set of functions
that greatly improves the performance of repeated concatenations of Lua
strings. The algorithm was inventd by Roberto Ierusalimschy.
These modules are part of the LuaSocket library and are supported.

Have fun,
