[Question] To be able to import this package I need to setup nginx config in my PC, is that correct? #132

I recently tried to use this package to resolve the SRV record but in my local Lua file I was unable to import this package as it always throws this error saying

lua: /usr/local/share/lua/5.3/resty/dns/utils.lua:18: attempt to index a nil value (global 'ngx')
stack traceback:

Hi @Rezwanul-Haque! Yes, this package is meant to be used when embedding Lua code in Nginx using lua-nginx-module, you can't use it in a standalone script. Please, refer to OpenResty docs to learn more.
