It only works because it silently discards the https: and replaces
it with http: . Actually, it disregards what is in front of //
completely, whatever it is. Even:
url = "foobar://www.ntg.nl/watistex.html"
works just 'fine'.
Anyway, perhaps someone can answer me this? I tried the ffi/curl code,
and the network stuff works, but only when I comment out the write
callback:
lcurl.curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION,
ffi.cast("callback",discard));
If I dont, I get an error message from ffi that is:
unable to convert argument 3 from cdata<unsigned long long (*)(void*,
unsigned long long, unsigned long long, void*)> to cdata<vararg>
stack traceback:
[C]: in function 'curl_easy_setopt'
[ctxlua]:42: in function 'check_status'
[ctxlua]:1: in main chunk
And I have no idea what that actually means or how to fix it?
Best wishes,
Taco
