Your question is a bit vague. Lua's standard library is fairly
minimal, but there are many third-party libraries for common tasks.
If you want to do networking (e.g. HTTP GET/POST requests) in Lua,
have a look at LuaSocket[1][2]. If you want filesystem functionality
not provided by the standard IO/OS libraries, have a look at
LuaFileSystem[3].
Both of these are also available through LuaRocks[4].
