Assuming you are using LuaSocket [1], socket.http is what you are  
looking for:

local http = require( 'socket.http' )

local aResponse, aCode = http.request( aURL )

or

local aRequest = { method = 'HEAD', url = aLink, headers = { referer =  
aURL } }
local aResponse, aCode = http.request( aRequest )
