LuaSocket

Is it possible to add LuaSocket module to the Moho?
I did find an out-of-the-box Windows binary 5.4 LuaSocket implementation that worked: https://github.com/alain-riedinger/luasocket. Release: https://github.com/alain-riedinger/luas ... /3.0-5.4.3
This just requires updates to path and cpath to point at the installed-to directory (scriptresources in my case), and then use.
Code: Select all
package.path = package.path .. ";" .. moho:UserAppDir() .. "/scripts/scriptresources/?.lua;"
package.cpath = package.cpath .. ";" .. moho:UserAppDir() .. "/scripts/scriptresources/?.dll;"
Connection Test:
Code: Select all
local socket = require "socket"
local connection = socket.tcp()
connection:settimeout(1000)
local result = connection:connect("ifconfig.co", 80)
connection:close()
print("result: ", result)
Simple HTTP Request *:
Code: Select all
local http = require("socket.http")
local response = http.request("https://ifconfig.co/json")
print("response: ", response)
