| You need strategies to deal with this sort of situation. Looking at the documentation for luasocket, it says under "connect":
In case of error, the method returns nil followed by a string describing the error. In case of success, the method returns 1.
That is a hint that you can use "assert" here with success. That is:
local conn = assert (socket.connect (host, port))
Now without the assert, if I try my suggested code with an invalid port number, I see what you see:
lua: stresstest.lua:7: attempt to index local 'conn' (a nil value)
stack traceback:
stresstest.lua:7: in main chunk
[C]: ?
That means there is an error message lurking there.
Now with the assert there I see:
lua: stresstest.lua:5: connection refused
stack traceback:
[C]: in function 'assert'
stresstest.lua:5: in main chunk
[C]: ?
OK, "connection refused". That means either the wrong port, the wrong server, or the MUD isn't up. |

| I was just going through tinyclient code, its pretty neat, simple and even i can work out whats going on.
I think i might spend a few days playing with it and see what i can come up with. |

| Ok nick i got it working, actually it works a treat, and it was my mistake earlier also, because i killed of kdevelop and it was in a konsole in kdevelop that i had the server running.
Rebooted the server and it it ran perfectly. Now i need to install lua and luasocket on my server and start to create a heap of scripts to use for testing. |
