Yes, this is something on my mind. I need to find time to sit down and
do this at once. Will update the list soon.
I have done some amount of research on this topic and am now in a position
to write down something about it (so that it forms a semi-formal spec for
the functionality).
I need to understand how community thinks about this entire http client
thingie :) before proceeding:
- What is the current inclination of this community about *existing* http
client programs? (examples: cURL, wget)
- A command line is necessary (something like grzget) but an API is more
important, correct?
- Suppose I were to do a command line, I'd like to stick to an existing
and robust command line interface (e.g. cURL) so that users don't have
to learn anything new.
- Number of protocols -- this is an on-going task because we will support
a number of protocols as we make progress. But to begin with, the first
release of this library/CLI should support HTTP/HTTPS/FTP with necessary
support via proxies and various authentication policies.
I'd utilize community response here and commit to a spec in a few days :)
Regards,
Kedar
