[5.1.4] Recommended way to work with Telnet server?

[Gilles Ganault <gilles.ganault@...>]

Hello

I need to write a script to interact with a Telnet-based server:

Alternatively, the server can also be reached through URLs, but the
client must support cookies.

I'd like to know if LuaSocket is the best solution for this, or if I
should look at another add-on.

Thank you.
