Execute the script from remote .lua file

[buuuudzik]

Hello,

do you know if there is a possibility to download the .lua file from remote localization and execute it on LM? Such possibility could be helpful for service purpose.

You can load source via HTTP request, then execute it like this (data variable must contain valid Lua code):

Code:

fn = loadstring(data)
fn()
