Re: LuaSocket - COPAS - CoSocket

[Diego Nehab <diego@...>]

Hi,

socket.http uses a function called protect(), which uses
pcall. There is a sample pair in the LuaSocket distribution
that works around this problem by redefining protect(). Take
a look at dispatch.lua and check-links.lua.  Not sure how
this would interact with COPAS, but might be worth it a try.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    -- Embarrassing mega hack. Don't try to do this at home.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
    -- we can't yield across calls to protect, so we rewrite it with coxpcall
    -- make sure you don't require any module that uses socket.protect before
    -- loading our hack
    function socket.protect(f)
      return function(...)
        local co = coroutine.create(f)
        while true do
          local results = {coroutine.resume(co, base.unpack(arg))}
          local status = table.remove(results, 1)
          if not status then
            if type(results[1]) == 'table' then
              return nil, results[1][1]
            else error(results[1]) end
          end
          if coroutine.status(co) == "suspended" then
            arg = {coroutine.yield(base.unpack(results))}
          else
            return base.unpack(results)
          end
        end
      end
    end

Make sure you redefine this after require("socket") but 
before require("socket.http").

[]s,
Diego.
