Hi.

I would like to run a POST or GET (HTTP protocol) in a script lua, and get back data from an ouside website.

something like:

content = HTTPGet("http://www.mysite.com/script.php?x=0&y=1")

Is it possible in lua ?

Thank's.

Example:

http = require "socket.http"
result, statuscode, content = http.request("http://www.mysite.com/script.php?x=0&y=1")
