LuaSocket returns nil with http.request

[Croutonix]

Wiki says LuaSocket is implented in love2d so I tried example code from LuaSocket webpage

Code: Select all

local http=require'socket.http'
body,c,l,h = http.request('http://w3.impa.br/~diego/software/luasocket/http.html')
print('status line',l)
print('body',body)

Returns

Code: Select all

status line     nil
body    nil

I tried multiple examples, I always get nil.
Do I need to allow love in firewall or something like that?

Can't replicate with that example, do you have a LÖVE file or something that actually errors?

test.love

That has the line

Code: Select all

body, c, l, h = http.request("shttp://w3.impa.br/~diego/software/luasocket/http.html")

Never heard of an shttp protocol.

Optionally, if that's really not the issue, then i'd suggest not using a fragmentary conf.lua file, since it may affect what modules are loaded and what aren't. (May be wrong on this, but i do remember this being an issue to someone before)

Still returns nil with http...
What do you mean by not fragmentary?
I need to add love.conf function to main.lua?

I mean that your love.conf function only sets the console. It's basically missing everything else that's shown on the wiki, though as i said, i might be wrong on this one.

If you log 'c' it should tell you which error code you're getting. You can go from there.

If you have a firewall that's blocking love, that would do it.

Yeah, that page lists the defaults, you only need to set whatever you're overriding.

I think it's failing at an earlier state, but according to the luasocket docs...

In case of failure, the function returns nil followed by an error message.

Which would end up in 'c'.

c returns closed, which is not in the list of status codes? What does it mean?
I added it to firewall filter, nothing changed.
