Lua 5.2 version about oc-programs HOT 6 OPEN

It would require a rewrite of the websocket frame encoder and decoder. Because Lua 5.3 supports bit operations. In 5.2 bit operations are possible with the bit32 library. But from what I know, using bit32 will not work on Lua 5.3.

Interesting. I might give that a shot when I find some time. If I succeeded, I would probably want to add in some sort of check for which Lua version is being used, so this library would work for either version.

I think if you make a version check the code would be much bigger. https://github.com/feldim2425/OC-Programs/blob/master/websocket_client/websocket/ws_tools.lua#L57-L189

This are the two methods that encode and decode websocket frames.

My reading online shows me that in most cases Lua 5.3 still contains the bit32 library, is this not the case in OpenComputers?

Also thank you for the link!

I used some libraries that required bit32 and they failed on OpenComputers Lua 5.3....
But I just found out that they changed it since my last test. Seems like that was 2 years ago.

EDIT: I tested again and it seems like bit32 is now also available on OpenComputers Lua 5.3

MineOS for OpenComputers has a bit32 library substitute in the event that it is not present. You can find it here.
