we are aware of this for a while already and it's on the agenda to look 
into it ... it's why here i do something like

if not package.loaded["socket"] then package.loaded["socket"] = 
package.loaded["socket.core"] end
if not package.loaded["mime"]   then package.loaded["mime"]   = 
package.loaded["mime.core"]   end

if not socket.mime then socket.mime = package.package.loaded["mime"] end

if not package.loaded["socket.mime"] then package.loaded["socket.mime"] 
= socket.mime end
if not package.loaded["socket.http"] then package.loaded["socket.http"] 
= socket.http end
if not package.loaded["socket.ftp"]  then package.loaded["socket.ftp"] 
= socket.ftp  end
if not package.loaded["socket.smtp"] then package.loaded["socket.smtp"] 
= socket.smtp end
if not package.loaded["socket.tp"]   then package.loaded["socket.tp"] 
= socket.tp   end
if not package.loaded["socket.url"]  then package.loaded["socket.url"] 
= socket.url  end
