This is forked off from this thread.  The recent events reminded me of lua... and I took the suggestion from MaxiJavi in that thread and decided to take a look at it - and then I ended up modifying it.  I added resuming downloads and to use the basename of the url as the filename by default if arg2 is not specified (I messed up my terminal many times since the original prints to stdout by default). This code is not robust - it just mostly shows that it can work (hopefully).  It didn't take a lot of time, but I did get hung up on the ftp resume part - "fixed" after some trial and error.  Does anyone know if there's a real fix to this, or if this is a bug in the platform?

The original can be found in [luasocket]/etc/get.lua. I've only tested this on local httpd/ftpd's and a bit on the DSL download mirrors.  But I haven't tried it on the lua environment on the latest 4.4.x yet.

Going through this made me think that the use of ltn12 is pretty neat.

Speaking as someone who knows nothing about luasocket (and has not tried this script yet)...

Do you have any thoughts about how well this might work as a replacement for wget in scripts such as mydslBrowser?  Any idea about including a progress bar? Do you know what license this script has?

As it stands, it could work "well enough" - I've already seen some issues with 301 redirection (even if you specify http.request to use it).

As for a progress bar, do you mean the one from fltk?  Currently this is console-only.  I haven't tried any kind of modification to the stats yet though, but should be doable.  And you'd probably want the ftp SIZE operation to be implemented.

iirc these example scripts were released under the same MIT license of the project which is the same as Lua itself.  I could double check, if you'd like.
