0.4.0

Added

• Web Sockets

  net now supports web sockets for both clients and servers!
  
  Note that the web socket object is identical on both client and server, but how you retrieve a web socket object is different.

  Server API

  The server web socket API is an extension of the existing net.serve function.
  
  This allows for serving both normal HTTP requests and web socket requests on the same port.

  Example usage:

  net.serve(8080, {
      handleRequest = function(request)
          return "Hello, world!"
      end,
      handleWebSocket = function(socket)
          task.delay(10, function()
              socket.send("Timed out!")
              socket.close()
          end)
          -- The message will be nil when the socket has closed
          repeat
              local messageFromClient = socket.next()
              if messageFromClient == "Ping" then
                  socket.send("Pong")
              end
          until messageFromClient == nil
      end,
  })

  Client API

  Example usage:

  local socket = net.socket("ws://localhost:8080")
  
  socket.send("Ping")
  
  task.delay(5, function()
      socket.close()
  end)
  
  -- The message will be nil when the socket has closed
  repeat
      local messageFromServer = socket.next()
      if messageFromServer == "Ping" then
          socket.send("Pong")
      end
  until messageFromServer == nil

Changed

• net.serve now returns a NetServeHandle which can be used to stop serving requests safely.

  Example usage:

  local handle = net.serve(8080, function()
      return "Hello, world!"
  end)
  
  print("Shutting down after 1 second...")
  task.wait(1)
  handle.stop()
  print("Shut down succesfully")

• The third and optional argument of process.spawn is now a global type ProcessSpawnOptions.

• Setting cwd in the options for process.spawn to a path starting with a tilde (~) will now use a path relative to the platform-specific home / user directory.

• NetRequest query parameters value has been changed to be a table of key-value pairs similar to process.env.
  If any query parameter is specified more than once in the request url, the value chosen will be the last one that was specified.

• The internal http client for net.request now reuses headers and connections for more efficient requests.

• Refactored the Lune rust crate to be much more user-friendly and documented all of the public functions.

Fixed

• Fixed process.spawn blocking all lua threads if the spawned child process yields.
