Dear Akira and Joseph,
I followed your discussion with great interest and occasionally did
some tests on x86_64-linux.

I can confirm that everything works like charm with {pdf,lua,xe}latex
now.  Both, Josef's test file (Heidelberg, Berlin, Munich) and Akira's
test file (Tokyo) work perfectly.

I had to replace

  local url = require("socket.url")

with

  local url = socket.url

But this shouldn't be necessary and it wasn't necessary in the past.
There is definitely a bug in the current version of luatex which
should be fixed upstream.  I just informed luatex developers:

 > local url = socket.url or require("socket.url")

This is certainly the best workaround for the time being.

Regards,
  Reinhard
