Re: [NSE] NSE HTTP library

I had a couple of other observations while I was testing this patch:

1.  It might be helpful to check the status and error codes from the
socket:connect() and socket:send() calls in http:request().  If we get
an error from either call, I don't think it should try and continue to
read or write data from the socket.


You are right. I've added this.


2.  It would be nice to be able to pass a timeout value to get(),
get_url(), etc.  The default timeout seems to be 30 seconds, which can
be a long time to wait for some of us.  :)


I added another parameter to all functions for passing options. The
call to get() with setting the timeout would look like this:
 http.get( host, port, '/', {timeout=5000})

I decided to use a table for the options so it's easy to add further
options without changing the function signature.

Cheers,
Sven
