LÖVE

I happened across this tutorial page:
and a google search leads me to this luasec github page:
That github page has two lua files: https.lua and ssl.lua. Those files require things like:

ssl
ssl.core
ssl.x509
ssl.config
ltn12
socket.http
socket.url
socket

They're not included in the github and google search can't find them. Has anyone used luasec in love2d?

Löve 12.0 will have SSL/HTTPS support inbuilt, and you can technically include the missing stuff into 11.4 as well, although idk where the steps for that was posted.

See lua-https on wiki, where is usage of module and also compilation instructions for older love versions.

A few other people mentioned 12.0. Do you know where we could find a pre-release version of 12.0?
Going over the planned features from the wiki I really wish someday we would have:
- bcrypt
- zipArchive
- mysql
- location, camera and other phone features

And json support out of box...

Here: https://github.com/love2d/love/tree/12.0-development
No?

Yes, JSON would be good although it is fairly easy to implement using pure Lua.

Thank you Bigfoot, I will look into this!

For JSON there is already a pure Lua library that works very well: https://github.com/rxi/json.lua
Personally I don't really see why it should be implemented in Love2D, unless something escapes me.

Thanks for the reference to 12.0.

I'm not set up to compile 12 or 'hack' 11.4.

So no one uses luasec?

These are generally out of the scope of a game API I think - although nothing's stopping you from packaging libraries for those with your own game. That being said you can already access the directory structure of a zip file (in memory or on your hard drive), via love.filesystem.mount.

luasec is notoriously annoying to build, for various platforms.

You can download automatically created builds of love 12 through the love repository's Github Actions page. For example a recent one is here https://github.com/love2d/love/actions/ ... #artifacts

For love 11, there's zero hacking involved to get lua-https working for it. It's just a lua C module, nothing special.
