This said, and no disrespect to Brian (as I said, I based my module on his!), I don't really see much gain in having multiple modules for the same thing, and I'm not sure why one might choose a less complete HTTP client over a more complete one?
Yes, when I was constructing this list:
https://github.com/bungle/awesome-resty/#networking
I was a quite confusing to find so many HTTP libs, and three of them with the same name:
lua-resty-http by @pintsized (last update 3 months ago)
lua-resty-http by @liseen (last updated 8 days ago)
lua-resty-http by @DprianGray (last updated 1 year ago, abandoned fork, maybe a pull-request fork?)
Then we have proxy prebuilt in Nginx:

Plus alternatives in the list above. At least the naming issue should be solved at some point.
