This directory contains code that is more useful than the examples. This code
*is* supported.
lua.lua -- new require and requirelib implementations
This is to support dynamic loading of LuaSocket. Check the INSTALL
file for more information.
tftp.lua -- Trivial FTP client
This module implements file retrieval by the TFTP protocol. Its main use
was to test the UDP code, but since someone found it usefull, I turned it
into a module that is almost official (no uploads, yet).
dict.lua -- Dict client
The dict.lua module started with a cool simple client for the DICT
protocol, written by Luiz Henrique Figueiredo. This new version has been
converted into a library, similar to the HTTP and FTP libraries, that can
be used from within any luasocket application. Take a look on the source
code and you will be able to figure out how to use it.
get.lua -- file retriever
This little program is a client that uses the FTP and HTTP code to
implement a command line file graber. Just run
lua get.lua <remote-file> [<local-file>]
to download a remote file (either ftp:// or http://) to the specified
local file. The program also prints the download throughput, elapsed
time, bytes already downloaded etc during download.
check-links.lua -- HTML link checker program
This little program scans a HTML file and checks for broken links. It is
similar to check-links.pl by Jamie Zawinski, but uses all facilities of
the LuaSocket library and the Lua language. It has not been thoroughly
tested, but it should work. Just run
lua check-links.lua {<url>} > output
and open the result to see a list of broken links.
Good luck,
Diego.
