Add backwards compatibility aliases "tcp" and "udp" for the recently renamed
"stream" and "dgram" functions, as well as a wrapper function and metatable
setup so that socket.unix() calls socket.unix.stream().
LuaSocket wraps error messages raised by newtry() in a table and unpacks
them later so that (string) errors raised by 3rd-party code can be
passed through as-is. This obviously didn't work when the 3rd-party code
raised a table as an error message. This change sets a private metatable
on all wrapped LuaSocket exceptions to distinguish them from 3rd-party
table errors.
This is a difficult tradeoff to measure. I think large
datagrams won't be used very frequently. So it is better to
not lock a large buffer to each socket object and instead
allocate and deallocate for each operation receiving a
datagram larger than UDP_DATAGRAMSIZE.
Documentation says "dontroute", "broadcast", "reuseaddr", and
"reuseport" are supported as arguments to getoption, however their
implementations were missing.
This results in unexpected behaviour if the socket has been `dup()`d, as O_NONBLOCK is shared.
Close is always 'blocking' anyway
See https://github.com/wahern/cqueues/issues/13 for an example use case
In this example:
>Client send: MDTM test.txt
>Server response: 213 20120824120909
Because FTP server do not open new channel (2XX response)
and LuaSocket try open new channel we get timeout.
```lua
local ftp = require "socket.ftp"
local ltn12 = require "ltn12"
local url = require("socket.url")
local URL = "ftp://USER:TEST@127.0.0.1";
local CMD = 'MDTM test.txt';
-- get timeout
ftp.get{
url = URL;
command = CMD;
sink = ltn12.sink.table{};
}
-- or we can use ftp.command
ftp.command{
url = URL;
command = URL,
check = function(...)
local status, data = ...
return true
end;
}
```
inet_pton was copying the entire sockaddr_in struct,
rather than just the sin_addr field...
I am a bit unsure about the UDP fix, because it may affect
TCP as well. On UDP sockets, when a sendto fails, the next
receive/receivefrom fails with CONNRESET. I changed
sock_recv/sock_recvfrom in wsocket.c to skip the CONNRESET
from the recv/recvfrom, hoping that if the socket is TCP,
sock_waitfd will get the CONNRESET again. The tests pass,
but this should be tested more thoroughly.
Previous implementation was not making sure the socket
had the same family as the addr returned by getaddrinfo.
So instead of "connection refused", we could get "invalid
argument", which was our fault.
There seems to be a curious difference between MacOS and
Linux and I am not sure if this is documented. When you
break a "connection" on Mac OS, you only eliminate the peer
association, but the local address remains bound. On Linux,
breaking a "connection" eliminates the binding to the local
address. Have you guys ever come accross this?
Another irritating difference is that connect() returns the
error EAFNOSUPPORT on Mac OS. I am going to ignore all
errors when the reason for calling connect() is simply to
break the "connection".
Bug was caught by user moteus.
Code was checking if arguments was nil after using
luaL_Buffer code, which messes with the stack.
Simple to fix, though.
This avoid socket.lua duplicating the iteration over the results
of getaddrinfo(). Some problems with the C implementation not
initializing sockets or the luasocket family have also been fixed,
and error reporting made more robust.
This wrapper takes a domain name or an IP as first argument
and a service name or port as second argument.
Either argument may be nil.
It returns a list of names (always only one in the IP case) and a
service name.

Conflicts in options.c were just due to independent small functions
being close to each other.
unix.c in mwild was broken, it wasn't using LUASOCKET_API.
serial.c needed luaL_reg renamed, and to use LUASOCKET_API.
makefile didn't respect standard DESTDIR and prefix makefile
variables, and didn't allow LUAV variable to select lua version to build
against.
I've tested the top-level install-both target builds and installs
against both lua5.1 and lua5.2, but not done further testing.

Looks like a historical bug. Its err argument is an error number, but
if it isn't using a custom error message for it, it just calls
strerror() with the errno global, effectively ignoring its argument
and returning a semi-random string.
This dependency was spuriously added, maybe for debug reasons,
as confirmed to me by Diego Nehab by mail.
Some systems based in Lua (e.g. Ginga) prohibit the use of
io module for security reasons, so this dependency makes
mime unusable; even worse this makes other modules, based
on mime, unusable too (e.g. html).
Connect timeouts are implemented by waiting on the new socket
descriptor. When select() is used for this, it imposes an arbitrary
limit on the number of connections that can be made, usually 1024-3.
Using poll() removes this limit on the number of simultaneous TCP
connections can be made using luasocket. The previous default
implementation using select() is available by defining SOCKET_SELECT.
Note that using socket.select() always uses select(), so it isn't
possible to wait on an arbitrary number of connections at once.
