Or use luasocket, which is included in the luatex binary:

But I'm right that this works only with http and not with https?

Works ok for me. Did you test?

Oh, sorry. It seems it is sneakily rewriting the https:// to http://, and so does not _actually_ work. Which makes sense, now that I think about it. Doing https would need openssl support, which is unlikely to ever be built into luatex.

Sorry for being misleading,

i have (among a few others such experiments) a util-crl.lua file that uses libcurl (using ffi) because it's one of the things we used to test ffi support in luatex i didn't add that to the distribution because i'm not sure what libname on windows to use (mojca and i discussed the option to ship some libs with the garden distribition at some time) and i don't want to end up in endless discussions about lib names on systems some day i might add this one (if the right lib is found it works ok .. performance on my old laptop is is 5000 https://tug.org pages in 100 sec, 5000 pragma website main pages in 70 sec) (fwiw: i do use curl but just call the binary which in practice is just as efficient because one seldom does a lot in a run) (and i use the socket lib for other things) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
