Re: LuaSocket problem

[LW <lopticon@...>]

Thanks for the reply, Diego.

 

I got the same reply as well, even when posting the correct UserID, APIKey and CharID (though I did see the added verbage about the 'verb' error if I looked at the packet data using tcpdump or tshark).

.

I wrote a simular statement using perl and received the proper XML datadump I was looking for.

Having done that, I ran tcpdump and tshark  to capture what was going on (my network stack knowledge is limited so I was doing a lot of guessing) and noticed a few differences on the structure of the data being sent. 

I will post the detailed information once I'm home (just got to work so it will be 8 hours or so from now).

 

LuaSocket version was 2.0.2

 

 

Best,

Hi,

     sink = ltn12.sink.file(io.stdout)
  }

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

That's not what happens here. What I get is:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<eveapi version="2">
 <currentTime>2009-07-22 06:59:17</currentTime>
 <error code="106">Must provide userID parameter for authentication.</error>
 <cachedUntil>2009-07-22 07:04:17</cachedUntil>
</eveapi>

What version of LuaSocket are you using?
