It works, at least with the following basic test, thanks!!!

local socket = require 'socket'
print( socket._VERSION )

local http = require("socket.http")
print(http.request("http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~diego/professional/luasocket";))

Just one quirk: socket._VERSION returns 2.0.2 instead of 2.0.3.
A typo in the source?
