It is not easy without import more code from LuaSocket.

LuaSec use the "create" parameter on http.request(). The problem is: "create" does not inform if you will connect with a host using http or https.

If you connect to a host using https and you receive a redirect "http://...", it will break, because LuaSec's "create" only create ssl/tls connections.

https://github.com/diegonehab/luasocket/blob/master/src/http.lua#L109

In order to work, LuaSocket must give more information to "create" as parameter, or LuaSec import the code that detects redirect from LuaSocket.

Coding the solution isn't the biggest problem I think. My concerns are about redirects that reduce security. I think that a redirect from https://... to http://... should not be allowed.

I don't know security that well, but I can also imagine a redirect that still is https://..., but has a lesser level of security, flawed algorithm, or lesser bits encryption, should also not be allowed. Or at least controllable by the user.

See lunarmodules/luasocket#133 for a fix to allow redirecting over protocols.

I was asking for https:// -> https:// redirections. Not https:// -> http:// which I think isn't a normal behaviour for servers.

Tieske avatar Tieske commented on July 24, 2024

The other way around is certainly normal. Anyway, one needs to have them covered.

But as it currently is, the code should allow for redirects https -> https. Did you test before posting this issue?

This is my simple example:

https = require "ssl.https"

function show_html(url)

  local response, code, headers, status = https.request(url)

  if code ~= 200 then
    print ("Response :", response)
    print ("HTTP Code :", code)
    print ("Headers :", headers)
    print ("Status :", status)
    return nil 
  end

  print(response)
end

show_html("https://goo.gl/UBCUc5")

Get wrong version number as code.

And this is one with options as param:

https = require "ssl.https"
ltn12 = require "ltn12"

function download_to_file(url, file_path)
  print("url to download: "..url)

  local respbody = {}
  local options = {
    url = url,
    sink = ltn12.sink.table(respbody),
    redirect = false
  }

  local response = nil
  response = {https.request(options)}

  -- nil, code, headers, status
  local code = response[2]
  local headers = response[3]
  local status = response[4]

  if code ~= 200 then
    print ("HTTP Code :", code)
    print ("Headers :", headers)
    print ("Status :", status)
    return nil 
  end

  print("Saved to: "..file_path)

  file = io.open(file_path, "w+")
  file:write(table.concat(respbody))
  file:close()

  return file_path
end

download_to_file("https://goo.gl/UBCUc5", "/tmp/test.html")

code is 301, the good part is I can implement the redirection by my own, but it would be nice if the lib do the magic.

I can confirm the problem (after testing the simple example). But it is not related to the problem I identified in #35.

Internally the same create function is used twice, and it uses the same table with ssl parameters for creating the context etc.. But the second one fails with an internal LuaSec error; wrong version number. For all I can see this very much looks like a bug... maybe @brunoos can shed some light on this.

Finally had some time to sort this one out. The problem was not with LuaSec. The redirect url, doesn't have a port number. So the default LuaSocket behaviour is to insert port 80. Which obviously fails with a https call.

I think this can be closed in favour of #38.
