LuaSocket problem

[LW <lopticon@...>]

I recently downloaded LuaSocket and started a small project to help me learn lua.

So I took an old perl project I did a few years back and started porting it and adding

features. 

For the network (web) piece I ran into a problem connecting to an IIS web server.

On execution I get an error from the remote server about the request verb bad.

 

A couple of things to note:

After a bit of googling I found one post on a forum that

suggested some versions of IIS are picky about headers

so this lead me to change header casing in the adjustheaders function.

It was also suggested to add a simple function to adjust the header casing

from lower to capitalize.. Just above the adjustheaders I added a function for this

and I'm still getting the, "request verb being bad".

 

Below is the code in question:

Does anyone see anything out of the obvious?

#!/usr/loca/bin/lua

 

local http = require("socket.http")
local io = require("io")
local ltn12 = require("ltn12")

 

UserID = "userID=XXXXX"
APIKey = "apiKey=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
CharID = "characterID=XXXXXXX"

 

--Lame I know... 
reqbody = UserID.."&"..APIKey.."&"..CharID

http.request {
   method = "POST",
   url = "" href="http://api.eve-online.com/char/CharacterSheet.xml.aspx">http://api.eve-online.com/char/CharacterSheet.xml.aspx",
   headers= {
            ["Content-Type"] = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
            ["Content-Length"] = string.len(reqbody),
   },
   source = ltn12.source.string(reqbody),
   sink = ltn12.sink.file(io.stdout)

}

 

 

Thanks,
