Lua API doesn't support HTTP(s) natively just yet; it's in the making. The networking fixes in the API were related to the more generic TLS, which now allows plugins to do some basic requests at web services, but the expectation is that there will be a higher-level API just for that (in fact, I'm working on it, in all those one-hour-session-a-week that I get for Cuberite nowadays).
Note that, as I already mentioned in the API docs, the TLS support is currently experimental and should be considered unsafe, since there's no way for plugins to review peer certificates.
