Understanding this Lua snippit

I've got this bit of code here:

local http = require("socket.http")

I know it's supposed to allow me to use some stuff from somewhere else but I have a couple of questions.

Where does it expect to find "socket.http"? What should it expect? A DLL? A Lua script? Both?

require can load both DLLs and libraries written in Lua. It looks for them using package.path and package.cpath, in that order. For details, see the Lua reference manual.
