I am trying but failing to send http POST requests using LUA in Wireshark. My approach is to use the ‘socket.http’ and ‘ltn12’ LUA modules, however, I do not know how to have Wireshark load these modules into its LUA base correctly.

I am simply just adding the following lines to a LUA file which Wireshark reads on program boot up:

 local http = require("socket.http")
 local ltn12 = require("ltn12")

The error I receive is:

module 'socket.http' not found:ntno field package.preload['socket.http']ntno file 

Obviously, I am missing some source socket.http (and ltn12) module files but do not know how to include them or what files they should be.

Thank you for any help.
