Hello everyone !

I have a lot of codes that depends on luasocket, however it looks to be
unmaintained anymore. I am thinking to switch to the cURL library thanks to
the FFI LuaJIT is offering.

I want to use the cURL library in order to retrieve some website contents
as strings. However one need to have a function callback in order to do
this. Is this possible to achieve such things with plain LuaJIT and FFI?

Here is a C example :

Thanks a lot for your help !
