Re: How to get a webpage with Lua Socket ?

Hi

Ah Interesting, yes betfair is legal in Aus, but I know there are some very specific conditions imposed by the Australian government. They stipulate the transactions have to occur on physical Servers based in Aus (Tasmania if I recall).  So there is a legal Iron curtain that keeps Betfair Aus separate from the main Betfair site. I bet that is the reason you cant see the standard Betfair site.

Thanks for the luasec linky

Geoff

I'm in Australia, it's licensed here. I can view the rest of the site,
but not that page.
