Hi there, perhaps it might make sense to also support resty from openresty distribution?

It would allow TLS, md5 and bitops with the internal LuaJIT of openresty? Practically out of the box.

Does that make sense? If I understand correctly, currently this code uses the API (unencrypted) and it would require quite a bit of external libs to support API-SSL.

With openresty "resty -e filename.lua" all the prerequisites would be met and no external dependencies would be needed. Also openresty supports TCP socket clients coding with Lua out of the box with TLS and can be installed natively in many different Linux distributions.

Just a thought. It's better to use API-SSL, especially when it comes down to network devices.
