Re: Persistent http connection

[Dirk Laurie <dirk.laurie@...>]

You need to provide a file for stroing cookies.

I can do it from the module 'curl' installed by 'luarocks install lua-curl'.

  local session = curl.easy()
  local cookies
  if curl.OPT_COOKIEFILE and curl.OPT_COOKIEJAR then
    cookies = os.tmpname()
    session:setopt(curl.OPT_COOKIEFILE,cookies)
    session:setopt(curl.OPT_COOKIEJAR,cookies)
    logins[session] = cookies
  else
    message("Your 'curl' does not support cookies. You will be anonymous.")
  end

The module 'http' should offer a similar service.
