# Lua网络编程基础

本文将介绍如何使用Lua进行网络编程,包括基本的Socket编程、HTTP客户端实现以及网络协议处理等内容。

## Socket编程

### 1. 基本概念

Socket是网络编程的基础,它提供了以下功能:

1. TCP/UDP协议支持
2. 客户端/服务器模型
3. 同步/异步通信
4. 数据流处理

### 2. TCP服务器

```lua
-- 使用LuaSocket库
local socket = require("socket")

-- 创建TCP服务器
local function create_server(host, port)
    -- 创建TCP socket
    local server = assert(socket.bind(host, port))
    print("Server listening on " .. host .. ":" .. port)
    
    -- 设置超时
    server:settimeout(0)
    
    -- 客户端连接表
    local clients = {}
    
    -- 主循环
    while true do
        -- 接受新连接
        local client = server:accept()
        if client then
            client:settimeout(0)
            table.insert(clients, client)
            print("New client connected from: " 
                  .. client:getpeername())
        end
        
        -- 处理客户端消息
        for i = #clients, 1, -1 do
            local client = clients[i]
            local line, err = client:receive()
            
            if err == "closed" then
                -- 客户端断开连接
                table.remove(clients, i)
                print("Client disconnected")
            elseif line then
                -- 处理消息
                print("Received: " .. line)
                client:send(line .. "\n")
            end
        end
        
        socket.sleep(0.1) -- 避免CPU占用过高
    end
end

-- 使用示例
create_server("127.0.0.1", 8080)
```

### 3. TCP客户端

```lua
-- TCP客户端实现
local function create_client(host, port)
    local client = assert(socket.connect(host, port))
    print("Connected to server")
    
    -- 设置超时
    client:settimeout(0)
    
    -- 发送消息
    client:send("Hello Server\n")
    
    -- 接收响应
    while true do
        local line, err = client:receive()
        if err == "closed" then
            print("Server closed connection")
            break
        elseif line then
            print("Server response: " .. line)
        end
        socket.sleep(0.1)
    end
    
    client:close()
end
```

## HTTP客户端

### 1. 基本请求

```lua
-- 使用LuaSocket的HTTP模块
local http = require("socket.http")
local ltn12 = require("ltn12")

-- GET请求
local function http_get(url)
    local response = {}
    
    local result, code, headers = http.request{
        url = url,
        sink = ltn12.sink.table(response)
    }
    
    if result then
        return table.concat(response), headers
    else
        error("HTTP request failed: " .. code)
    end
end

-- POST请求
local function http_post(url, data)
    local response = {}
    
    local result, code, headers = http.request{
        url = url,
        method = "POST",
        headers = {
            ["Content-Type"] = "application/json",
            ["Content-Length"] = #data
        },
        source = ltn12.source.string(data),
        sink = ltn12.sink.table(response)
    }
    
    if result then
        return table.concat(response), headers
    else
        error("HTTP request failed: " .. code)
    end
end
```

### 2. 异步请求

```lua
-- 异步HTTP客户端
local AsyncHTTP = {}
AsyncHTTP.__index = AsyncHTTP

function AsyncHTTP.new()
    return setmetatable({
        requests = {},
        responses = {}
    }, AsyncHTTP)
end

function AsyncHTTP:request(url, options, callback)
    local req = {
        url = url,
        options = options,
        callback = callback,
        response = {}
    }
    
    table.insert(self.requests, req)
end

function AsyncHTTP:update()
    for i = #self.requests, 1, -1 do
        local req = self.requests[i]
        
        local result, code, headers = http.request{
            url = req.url,
            sink = ltn12.sink.table(req.response),
            method = req.options.method or "GET",
            headers = req.options.headers,
            source = req.options.body and 
                     ltn12.source.string(req.options.body)
        }
        
        if result then
            req.callback(table.concat(req.response), headers)
            table.remove(self.requests, i)
        elseif code ~= "timeout" then
            req.callback(nil, code)
            table.remove(self.requests, i)
        end
    end
end

-- 使用示例
local client = AsyncHTTP.new()

client:request("http://api.example.com", {
    method = "GET"
}, function(response, headers)
    if response then
        print("Response:", response)
    else
        print("Error:", headers)
    end
end)

-- 在主循环中调用update
while true do
    client:update()
    socket.sleep(0.1)
end
```

## 协议实现

### 1. 简单协议

```lua
-- 消息协议
local Protocol = {}

-- 消息类型
Protocol.TYPE = {
    HANDSHAKE = 1,
    MESSAGE = 2,
    HEARTBEAT = 3
}

-- 打包消息
function Protocol.pack(msgType, data)
    local msg = {
        type = msgType,
        data = data,
        timestamp = os.time()
    }
    return require("json").encode(msg)
end

-- 解包消息
function Protocol.unpack(raw)
    return require("json").decode(raw)
end

-- 处理消息
function Protocol.handle(msg)
    if msg.type == Protocol.TYPE.HANDSHAKE then
        -- 处理握手
        return handle_handshake(msg.data)
    elseif msg.type == Protocol.TYPE.MESSAGE then
        -- 处理普通消息
        return handle_message(msg.data)
    elseif msg.type == Protocol.TYPE.HEARTBEAT then
        -- 处理心跳
        return handle_heartbeat(msg.data)
    end
end
```

### 2. WebSocket客户端

```lua
-- WebSocket客户端
local WebSocket = {}
WebSocket.__index = WebSocket

function WebSocket.new(url)
    local self = setmetatable({
        url = url,
        connected = false,
        handlers = {}
    }, WebSocket)
    
    -- 初始化连接
    self:connect()
    
    return self
end

function WebSocket:connect()
    -- 建立WebSocket连接
    local key = generate_key()
    local headers = {
        ["Upgrade"] = "websocket",
        ["Connection"] = "Upgrade",
        ["Sec-WebSocket-Key"] = key,
        ["Sec-WebSocket-Version"] = "13"
    }
    
    -- 发送握手请求
    local res, code = http.request{
        url = self.url,
        headers = headers
    }
    
    if code == 101 then
        self.connected = true
        self:onOpen()
    else
        error("WebSocket connection failed")
    end
end

function WebSocket:send(data)
    if not self.connected then
        error("Not connected")
    end
    
    -- 发送数据帧
    local frame = create_frame(data)
    self.socket:send(frame)
end

function WebSocket:on(event, handler)
    self.handlers[event] = handler
end

function WebSocket:onOpen()
    if self.handlers.open then
        self.handlers.open()
    end
end

function WebSocket:onMessage(data)
    if self.handlers.message then
        self.handlers.message(data)
    end
end

function WebSocket:onClose()
    if self.handlers.close then
        self.handlers.close()
    end
end

-- 使用示例
local ws = WebSocket.new("ws://echo.websocket.org")

ws:on("open", function()
    print("Connected to WebSocket server")
    ws:send("Hello WebSocket")
end)

ws:on("message", function(data)
    print("Received:", data)
end)

ws:on("close", function()
    print("Connection closed")
end)
```

## 最佳实践

### 1. 错误处理

```lua
-- 网络错误处理
local function safe_connect(host, port, retries)
    retries = retries or 3
    
    for i = 1, retries do
        local client, err = socket.connect(host, port)
        if client then
            return client
        end
        
        print(string.format(
            "Connection attempt %d failed: %s",
            i, err
        ))
        
        if i < retries then
            socket.sleep(1) -- 等待后重试
        end
    end
    
    error("Failed to connect after " .. retries .. " attempts")
end
```

### 2. 连接池

```lua
-- 连接池实现
local ConnectionPool = {}
ConnectionPool.__index = ConnectionPool

function ConnectionPool.new(host, port, size)
    local self = setmetatable({
        host = host,
        port = port,
        size = size,
        connections = {},
        active = {}
    }, ConnectionPool)
    
    -- 预创建连接
    for i = 1, size do
        local conn = socket.connect(host, port)
        table.insert(self.connections, conn)
    end
    
    return self
end

function ConnectionPool:acquire()
    if #self.connections > 0 then
        local conn = table.remove(self.connections)
        self.active[conn] = true
        return conn
    end
    return nil
end

function ConnectionPool:release(conn)
    if self.active[conn] then
        self.active[conn] = nil
        table.insert(self.connections, conn)
    end
end
```

## 常见问题

### Q1: 如何处理连接超时?

```lua
-- 超时处理
local function with_timeout(func, timeout)
    local result = nil
    local done = false
    
    -- 创建计时器
    local start_time = socket.gettime()
    
    -- 执行函数
    while not done and 
          socket.gettime() - start_time < timeout do
        result = func()
        if result then
            done = true
        else
            socket.sleep(0.1)
        end
    end
    
    if not done then
        error("Operation timed out")
    end
    
    return result
end
```

### Q2: 如何实现断线重连?

```lua
-- 自动重连
local function auto_reconnect(client, host, port)
    local function try_reconnect()
        while true do
            print("Attempting to reconnect...")
            
            local new_client = socket.connect(host, port)
            if new_client then
                print("Reconnected successfully")
                return new_client
            end
            
            print("Reconnect failed, retrying in 5 seconds")
            socket.sleep(5)
        end
    end
    
    -- 监控连接状态
    while true do
        local _, err = client:receive(0)
        if err == "closed" then
            print("Connection lost")
            client = try_reconnect()
        end
        socket.sleep(1)
    end
end
```

### Q3: 如何优化网络性能?

1. 使用连接池
2. 实现消息队列
3. 压缩数据
4. 批量处理
5. 使用合适的缓冲区大小
