I’m happy to announce the second release of lua-http.

lua-http is a library that hopes to provide all HTTP operations you should ever need. In addition to all the low-level parsing and serialising operations you might expect, lua-http provides high level interfaces for writing your own HTTP server or performing HTTP requests.

This is mostly a bugfix release. Included in this release:

• Remove broken http.server .client_timeout option (replaced with .connection_setup_timeout)
• Fix http1 pipelining locks
• Miscellaneous http2 fixes
• HTTP 2 streams no longer have to be used in order of creation
• No longer raise decode errors in hpack module
• Fix hpack:lookup_index() to treat static entries without values as empty string
• Fix HTTP 1 client in locales with non-“.” decimal separator
• Add h1_stream.max_header_lines property to prevent infinite list of headers
• New .bind option for requests and http.client module
