Hi guys,
I am new to Lua. I want to implement an client-side code for an online game. The snip code as:
c = socket:connect()
c:send(data) – Data is the string to be sent

Due to the protocol between server and client, i must make sure send and receive UTF-8 string, but the parameter data of client:send must be string.
The string is descripted in Lua document as:
“Strings in Lua have the usual meaning: a sequence of characters. Lua is eight-bit clean and its strings may contain characters with any numeric code, including embedded zeros. This means that you can store any binary data into a string.”
How can i address the utf-8 string in Luasocket? Anybody could help me!!!
