[luci] Curl in LuCI?

[Pau]

Hi.
I don't know if it can help, sorry if not.

Recently we created the package "lua-curl" for OpenWRT:

http://redmine.confine-project.eu/projects/wibed-packages/repository/revisions/master/show/lua-curl

Maybe you can use it.

PS: I would like to push this packet in some openwrt feed but I don't
know which one. Any idea?
