Anyone got lure working? Or some other Https thingy??

I got this from github and didn't know how to require it so I started from require ("build/lua/lure") and trying to fix errors to get the Http request (so I can do leaderboards) but it seems hopeless. Is there an alternative or an already pure lua (no .so or .dll) solution so I can use something like Lootlocker or dreamlo?

Just use the built in networking module (LuaSocket).

Code: Select all

local http = require("socket")

http.request({
	method = "GET",
	url="http://your.url/",
})

I managed to get luasec working but it is not pretty.
A better option is https.dll as described in my topic:

This is not pure Lua, but it works quite well.
The only downside is that we need a uniform way to include this library between Love2D distributions.
This is necessary so that the same Lua code would work across platforms.

(Ahhh, jee, I messed up. Now I've got 2 similar topics.)

What's the difference between luasec and http I've been recommended. Can http module get the job done? Won't it give an error with URLs starting with https

Can http module get the job done?

You need https.dll to make SSL requests. Please read over the provided link for details.
Luasec is a generic Lua module whereas https.dll works better with Love2D
