Methods

All of the commands return either something that evaluates to true on success, or nil and an error message on failure.

new

syntax: hc, err = hipchat:new("token")

Creates a signing object. In case of failures, returns nil and a string describing the error.

room_message

syntax: sig, err = hc:room_message(dtype, message, delimiter)

syntax: sig, err = hc:room_message("sha1", "StringToSign")

Attempts to sign a message using the algorithm set by dtype and the key set with new(). It can also be called using a table as the message with a delimiter used when concatenating the arguments which defaults to a newline (char 10).

local args = {"PUT","/path/to/file/","Wed, 19 Mar 2014 21:45:06 +0000"}
local sig, err = hc:room_message("sha1", args)

In case of success, returns the signature. In case of errors, returns nil with a string describing the error.

Installation

If you are using your own nginx + ngx_lua build, then you need to configure the lua_package_path directive to add the path of your lua-resty-hmac source tree to ngx_lua's LUA_PATH search path, as in

    # nginx.conf
    http {
        lua_package_path "/path/to/lua-resty-hmac/lib/?.lua;;";
        ...
    }

This package also requires the lua-resty-hmac package to be installed https://github.com/jamesmarlowe/lua-resty-hmac

Ensure that the system account running your Nginx ''worker'' proceses have enough permission to read the .lua file.
