The current Lua library hasn’t really been touched in quite a while now. In fact, it hasn’t even been moved over to a github repository at this point as it
is still sitting on eclipse. Here are a couple of items that I think really need to be brought up-to-date with this client:
QoS – only support QoS 0 right now
TLS – no support at all right now
These are just a couple of things that I noticed when I looked at it recently. Not having TLS support is really a show stopper for me for anything other than
just pure play/testing purposes. Do we have anyone here who could step up and bring the client up to par with some of the others (C, C++, Java, etc.)? I am nowhere near proficient enough in Lua to try an tackle any of this level of work.
Benjamin Cabé, maybe you could reach out to a certain former employer of yours that does a LOT of Lua work and see if they would be willing to help (or even
donate some of their existing work). I know for certain that they have a MQTT Lua client that does support TLS at least. I’ve also briefly mentioned to them that I would like to see their MQTT work pushed back to the open source community if at all possible.
Maybe if there are multiple requests, we can be persuasive.
