  Going back to your original post, you gave the following code:

    local payload = [[{"email":"evtest@yopmail.com"}]]

    local hdrs = {
        [1] = string.format('host: %s:%s', addr,port),
        [2] = 'accept: application/json',
        [3] = 'Content-Type: application/json'
    }

    local req = {
        [1] = 'POST /evl/evIDLookU HTTP/1.1',
        [2] = payload,
        [3] = table.concat(hdrs, '\r\n'),
        [4] = '\r\n'
    }

    req = table.concat(req,  '\r\n')

  Your request is formatted incorrectly.  You have the payload between the
request and the headers, which isn't allowed by the HTTP spec.  You are also
neglecting to set the Content-Length header.  It should be:

	local hdrs = {
	  string.format('Host: %s:%s',addr,port),
	  'Accept: application/json',
	  'Content-Type: application/json',
	  string.format('Content-Length: %d',#payload)
	}

	local res = {
	  'POST /evl/evIDLookU HTTP/1.1',
	  table.concat(hdrs,'\r\n'),
	  '\r\n',
	  payload
	}
