Hi! Thanks for the useful software, much appreciated! I've wanted to use socket.smtp in one of the modules and after adding: local smtp = require "socket.smtp"; Prosody httpserver stops serving the page related to module, nothing in the logs even with debug level. Issue is simply reproducible, just add directive to any of the modules. Configuration: 67-Ubuntu bionic SMP Mon Mar 2 07:24:29 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Prosody 0.11.5 # Prosody directories Data directory: /var/lib/prosody Config directory: /etc/prosody Source directory: /usr/lib/prosody Plugin directories: /usr/share/jitsi-meet/prosody-plugins/ /usr/lib/prosody/modules/ # Lua environment Lua version: Lua 5.2 Lua module search paths: /usr/lib/prosody/?.lua /usr/local/share/lua/5.2/?.lua /usr/local/share/lua/5.2/?/init.lua /usr/local/lib/lua/5.2/?.lua /usr/local/lib/lua/5.2/?/init.lua /usr/share/lua/5.2/?.lua /usr/share/lua/5.2/?/init.lua Lua C module search paths: /usr/lib/prosody/?.so /usr/local/lib/lua/5.2/?.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/lua/5.2/?.so /usr/lib/lua/5.2/?.so /usr/local/lib/lua/5.2/loadall.so LuaRocks: Not installed # Network Backend: select # Lua module versions DBI: 0.7 lfs: LuaFileSystem 1.6.3 lxp: LuaExpat 1.3.0 socket: LuaSocket 3.0-rc1 ssl: 0.6 root@ip:/usr/share/lua/5.2/socket# ls -latr total 8 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Feb 23 2018 url.lua -> ../../5.1/socket/url.lua lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Feb 23 2018 tp.lua -> ../../5.1/socket/tp.lua lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Feb 23 2018 smtp.lua -> ../../5.1/socket/smtp.lua lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Feb 23 2018 mbox.lua -> ../../5.1/socket/mbox.lua lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Feb 23 2018 http.lua -> ../../5.1/socket/http.lua lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 Feb 23 2018 headers.lua -> ../../5.1/socket/headers.lua lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Feb 23 2018 ftp.lua -> ../../5.1/socket/ftp.lua

solution: prosody.unlock_globals() Issue can be closed, sorry

The real fix is for LuaSocket not to pollute the global table, like this: https://github.com/diegonehab/luasocket/commit/920bc9762954454468d056a61391635cbd849406#diff-dbf52d7c1928cd4d1b73010cfecd175bL20-R22

Looks like the 'ltn12' module still messes with globals.
