Lua - Request works via curl, but not via Lua (Lua socket)?

Developer's Corner
#21

I’m going to have to resign myself that I can’t get it to work this way via Vera,

01	01/21/21 20:19:36.375	luup_log interface 0x12debf8 args 3 <0x72b98520>

The same chunk of code works on my Pi, running Lua 5.1, Lua-socket and luasec etc.

local https = require "ssl.https"
local mime = require "mime"
local http = require "socket.http"
local data = ""
local username = "user"
local password = "password"

local function collect(chunk)
  if chunk ~= nil then
    data = data .. chunk
    end
  return true
end

local ok, statusCode, headers, statusText = https.request {
  method = "GET",
  url = "https://api.sipgate.com/v2/account",
  headers = {
    ["Accept"] = "application/json",
    ["Authorization"] = "Basic " .. (mime.b64(username ..":" .. password)),
    },
  sink = collect
}

--debug --
print("enc64", mime.b64(username ..":" .. password))
print("ok\t",         ok);
print("statusCode", statusCode)
print("statusText", statusText)
print("headers:", headers)
print("data", data)

Hi @parkerc,

Don’t beat your self up. The Lua socket library used on the Veras is seriously old and simply does not work with some https targets, especially multi hosted.
