Adding... The HTTPClient library seamlessly supports GZIP, HTTPS and Chunked-Encoding.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Mar 21, 2012 at 2:00 PM, Ray Racine <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ray.racine@gmail.com">ray.racine@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">I have an HTTPClient library that works for GET, PUT, POST for most use cases where one would use an embedding of a wrapped curl. <div> <br></div><div>It understands chunked encoding and "pipes" the de-chunked HTTP stream to a port automatically So for example, you can do a GET of a large file and stream it to disc without reading the entire file into a byte buffer.

This has the advantages of keeping large file I/O out of Racket (lower processing overhead, no GC, schedulable by the host OS on other CPUs/cores), and of process isolation (i.e., not having additional C code in the same process as the Racket VM, so that less risk of the C code causing stability or security programs).<br> <br> (There is a somewhat fancy "curl" process Racket library that someone wrote, but I don't know whether or when they'll be able to open source it. Probably best to just write a simple one that does what you need.)<br> <br> Neil V.<span><font color="#888888"><br> <br> -- <br> <a href="http://www.neilvandyke.org/" target="_blank">http://www.neilvandyke.org/</a><br> ____________________<br> Racket Users list:<br> <a href="http://lists.racket-lang.org/users" target="_blank">http://lists.racket-lang.org/<u></u>users</a><br> </font></span></blockquote></div><br></div></div></div></div></div> </blockquote></div><br>
