lua on it's own can't, but luasocket or other extention can add it.
also in ce you can use getInternet to get an object for web requests (get, post)

Hey Atom0s,
Thanks for replying. I didn't mean't C# is slow and php is fast :3 I mean't it's slow in sending web request and php is fast in it (I think because it's a server side language )...
My point is : How is Lua in sending web requests ? with Lua I mean its extension etc... with "How" I mean is it fast?
Thanks In Advance

the bottleneck is your connection speed, not the code
if c# specifically is slow it's more because of a bad implementation/usage

You are comparing things incorrectly based on how you are wording this.
C# can run on a server just like PHP does and do the exact same things as PHP in various ways, (ASP.NET, WCF, etc.) If you put C# on a server, it will out-perform PHP based on benchmarks already shown. Anyway, that's not really the point of this topic just a side discussion from how you worded things.
The implementation is a matter of who coded it, how well optimized it is, how the language running it handles the given code and your connection speed.
You can read the basics of Luasocket and how its implemented here:
http://w3.impa.br/~diego/software/luasocket/introduction.html
You can review the code here:
https://github.com/diegonehab/luasocket
Luasocket is written in C and is very lightweight wrappers around the 'socket' API. Therefore there is very little overhead inside of the library itself. The only real overhead you will have is from the Lua interpreter going back and forth from the script byte code to the libraries interacting with what you are doing.
Lua's performance is already benchmarked and proven in a ton of cases and is endorsed by major companies such as Blizzard in their triple-A games such as WoW.
The main slowdowns / performance issues you are going to face are in how you code the usage of the socket, your connection speed, and the server handling your requests.

Thanks again for replying atom0s and the for the links
Btw I work in Asp.net too and I will still say that php is much faster than Asp.net ... Php is a very lightweight language and C# is not... I learn't both languages and chose Php for my web application...
In the end, it doesn't matter... Great software and websites are written by great programmers, not the language. You can write equally bad software in PHP or asp.net. Or equally good software...
Thanks Again
