'socket.http' DLLs aren't found when Lua is compiled

I've started to really get into using Lua, and a few months ago I've figured out on how to turn .lua files into executables.

It's been working great so far, until I started to compile lua scripts that use 'socket.http'. It seems to be missing some DLLs of some sort, and I don't know how I would be able to add them into the same folder.

The errors found

Where would I find these such DLLs to add into the same folder of my executable, so that I could be able to run Lua executables using socket.http?

socket.http module doesn't come as DLL; it comes as a pure-lua module. Usually there is socket.lua and socket\http.lua files (as well as socket\core.dll), so you'd need to package all of them and make them available to your script to make it work.

You can find the Lua files in the luasocket repository, but make sure that they match the API for the binaries (socket/core.* files) you are using.
