Pull Lua dependencies straight from the web! Now adds a searcher to require, instead of other things!

webclude.lua

local socket = require("socket")
local http = require("socket.http")

--Safety is overrated. Pull scripts form the web!
local function webclude(target, ...)
    
    local body, status, res_head, res_stat = http.request(target, ...)

    if body then
        return body
    else
        local str = "Could not include from web file: "..target.."\n"        
                    .."Status: "..status.."\n"
                    .."Response Headers: "..tostring(res_head).."\n"
                    .."Response Status: "..res_stat.."\n"
        return nil, str
    end
end

    -- Find source
    local src, err = webclude(modulename)
