Is there an HTTP request library that works both inside and outside openresty with non-blocking behaviour?

resty.http worked very well for me so far, but I’d like to make my telegram bot library useable outside openresty, so I’d like to know if there’s such library. If not, what is the closest thing to resty.http and how to fallback properly?

Thanks.

I built a fallback library which, if used, will always use cosocketswhere available, and fallback to LuaSocket/LuaSec where cosockets arenot available (non-supported ngx_lua contexts, or non-ngx_luainterpreters). It was inspired by a similar module in pgmoon andimproved/externalized as an independent library here:

Of course, it needs to be used by the library (lua-resty-http does notuse it nor does it provide a fallback for non-supported cosocket contexts).

In that case, I should clone resty.http and implement your library myself? I’m not sure if I’m experienced enough for that. Actually, I opened an issue asking resty.http creators to do that.

Unless your library implements luasocket/luasec.http into cosocket, in that case I could simply use that.

PS: It looks like your library is not available at opm.

Thanks for your reply!
