[vlc-devel] [PATCH] Fix share/lua/README.txt HTTPd documentation According to my code review and testing, the vlc.httpd() Lua method does not take any arguments and neither support HTTPS in the current VLC version. Also, the documentation doesn't make it clear on what type of Lua modules it's available, when it can only be used in the context of interfaces.

Some code snippets that seem to support the findings mentioned above:
