What is LuaSocket?

+ +

+LuaSocket is a Lua extension library +that is composed by two parts: a C core that provides support for the TCP +and UDP transport layers, and a set of Lua modules that add support for +functionality commonly needed by applications that deal with the Internet. +

+ +

+The core support has been implemented so that it is both efficient and +simple to use. It is available to any Lua application once it has been +properly initialized by the interpreter in use. The code has been tested +and runs well on several Windows and UNIX platforms.

+ +

+Among the support modules, the most commonly used implement the +SMTP +(sending e-mails), +HTTP +(WWW access) and +FTP +(uploading and downloading files) client +protocols. These provide a very natural and generic interface to the +functionality defined by each protocol. +In addition, you will find that the +MIME (common encodings), +URL +(anything you could possible want to do with one) and +LTN12 +(filters, sinks, sources and pumps) modules can be very handy. +

+ +

+The library is available under the same + +terms and conditions as the Lua language, the MIT license. The idea is +that if you can use Lua in a project, you should also be able to use +LuaSocket. +

Download

+ +

+LuaSocket version 3.0-rc1 is now available for download! +It is compatible with Lua 5.1 and 5.2, and has +been tested on Windows XP, Linux, and Mac OS X. Chances +are it works well on most UNIX distributions and Windows flavors. +

+ +

+The current version of the library can be found at +the LuaSocket +project page on GitHub. Besides the full C and Lua source code +for the library, the distribution contains several examples, +this user's manual and basic test procedures. +

+ +

Take a look at the installation section of the +manual to find out how to properly install the library. +

+ + + +

Special thanks

+ +

+This marks the first release of LuaSocket that +wholeheartedly embraces the open-source development +philosophy. After a long hiatus, Matthew Wild finally +convinced me it was time for a release including IPv6 and +Lua 5.2 support. It was more work than we anticipated. +Special thanks to Sam Roberts, Florian Zeitz, and Paul +Aurich, Liam Devine, Alexey Melnichuk, and everybody else +that has helped bring this library back to life. +

+ + + +

What's New

+ +

+Main changes for LuaSocket 3.0-rc1 are IPv6 support +and Lua 5.2 compatibility. +

+ +

Added: Compatible with Lua 5.2 +
- Note that unless you define LUA_COMPAT_MODULE, +package tables will not be exported as globals! +
+
Added: IPv6 support; +
- Socket.connect and socket.bind support IPv6 addresses; +
- Getpeername and getsockname support +IPv6 addresses, and return the socket family as a third value; +
- URL module updated to support IPv6 host names; +
- New socket.tcp6 and socket.udp6 functions; +
- New socket.dns.getaddrinfo and + socket.dns.getnameinfo functions; +
+
Added: getoption method; +
Fixed: url.unescape was returning additional values; +
Fixed: mime.qp, mime.unqp, + mime.b64, and mime.unb64 could + mistaking their own stack slots for functions arguments; +
Fixed: Receiving zero-length datagram is now possible; +
Improved: Hidden all internal library symbols; +
Improved: Better error messages; +
Improved: Better documentation of socket options. +
Fixed: manual sample of HTTP authentication now uses correct + "authorization" header (Alexandre Ittner); +
Fixed: failure on bind() was destroying the socket (Sam Roberts); +
Fixed: receive() returns immediatelly if prefix can satisfy + bytes requested (M Joonas Pihlaja); +
Fixed: multicast didn't work on Windows, or anywhere + else for that matter (Herbert Leuwer, Adrian Sietsma); +
Fixed: select() now reports an error when called with more + sockets than FD_SETSIZE (Lorenzo Leonini); +
Fixed: manual links to home.html changed to index.html +(Robert Hahn); +
Fixed: mime.unb64() would return an empty string on results that started + with a null character (Robert Raschke); +
Fixed: HTTP now automatically redirects on 303 and 307 (Jonathan Gray); +
Fixed: calling sleep() with negative numbers could + block forever, wasting CPU. Now it returns immediately (MPB); +
Improved: FTP commands are now sent in upper case to + help buggy servers (Anders Eurenius); +
Improved: known headers now sent in canonic + capitalization to help buggy servers (Joseph Stewart); +
Improved: Clarified tcp:receive() in the manual (MPB); +
Improved: Decent makefiles (LHF). +
Fixed: RFC links in documentation now point to IETF (Cosmin Apreutesei). +
