Maybe I should mention that to make it work I had to copy also the file 
headers.lua in parallel with ftp.lua.

In other words, I had to "replace" (virtually, in the manual procedure I 
followed to mimick the script behaviour) the following line in the bash 
script (line 173):

cp src/{ftp.lua,http.lua,smtp.lua,tp.lua,url.lua} 
"$INSTALL_DIR/share/lua/5.1/socket"

with the following one:

cp src/{headers.lua,ftp.lua,http.lua,smtp.lua,tp.lua,url.lua} 
"$INSTALL_DIR/share/lua/5.1/socket"

Did I miss something? Without this "change" I get an error when running 
the simple test I mentioned.
