Re: Looking for HTTP client examples

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
