Package: lua-http
Version: 0.1-1
Severity: grave

Hi,
lua-http cannot construct legal requests if a non-US locale (or more precisely,
anything using comma as decimal separator) is in use. Example:
klump:~> cat test.lua
os.setlocale('nb_NO.UTF-8')
local http_request = require "http.request"
local headers, stream =
assert(http_request.new_from_uri("http://example.com";):go())
local body = assert(stream:get_body_as_string())
if headers:get ":status" ~= "200" then
error(body)
end
print(body)
klump:~> lua5.2 test.lua
lua5.2: test.lua:6: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

stack traceback:
[C]: in function 'error'
test.lua:6: in main chunk
[C]: in ?
This is because the request it constructs looks like this:
GET / HTTP/1,1
host: example.com
user-agent: lua-http/0.1
Note the “1,1” in the HTTP version number where it should have been 1.1.
This makes the library completely broken for a large swath of Debian's user
base;
thus the severity.
