| This directory contains code that is more useful than the | |
| samples. This code *is* supported. | |
| 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. | |
| lp.lua -- LPD client library | |
| The lp.lua module implements the client part of the Line | |
| Printer Daemon protocol, used to print files on Unix | |
| machines. It is courtesy of David Burgess! See the source | |
| code and the lpr.lua in the examples directory. | |
| b64.lua | |
| qp.lua | |
| eol.lua | |
| These are tiny programs that perform Base64, | |
| Quoted-Printable and end-of-line marker conversions. | |
| 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-memory.lua -- checks memory consumption | |
| This is just to see how much memory each module uses. | |
| dispatch.lua -- coroutine based dispatcher | |
| This is a first try at a coroutine based non-blocking | |
| dispatcher for LuaSocket. Take a look at 'check-links.lua' | |
| and at 'forward.lua' to see how to use it. | |
| 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 [-n] {<url>} > output | |
| and open the result to see a list of broken links. Make sure | |
| you check the '-n' switch. It runs in non-blocking mode, | |
| using coroutines, and is MUCH faster! | |
| forward.lua -- coroutine based forward server | |
| This is a forward server that can accept several connections | |
| and transfers simultaneously using non-blocking I/O and the | |
| coroutine-based dispatcher. You can run, for example | |
| lua forward.lua 8080:proxy.com:3128 | |
| to redirect all local conections to port 8080 to the host | |
| 'proxy.com' at port 3128. | |
| unix.c and unix.h | |
| This is an implementation of Unix local domain sockets and | |
| demonstrates how to extend LuaSocket with a new type of | |
| transport. It has been tested on Linux and on Mac OS X. | |
| Good luck, | |
| Diego. |
