Subject:

is your custom http poco client available?

the manual mentions you have a custom http poco client which writes to disk. i haven't been able to find anything similar on the web and was hoping you'd share that also. thanks

Well, it's okay license-wise but the code is a really ugly hack that doesn't work too well with upgrades on PoCo::Component::HTTP so I'm a bit reluctant to unleash it to the world.

i just found a way to do it using the Streaming option. it's now example 4 on http://poe.perl.org/?POE_Cookbook/Web_Client .

yes, but it loads all the content int HTTP::Request once, which is exactly what I was trying to avoid. However, if your aim is just to store the results then, you don't need anything like what I used.

not sure i follow. the Streaming option specifies that each event only gets a small chunk of the response data- the content field in the HTTP::Response is not used by POE in this case. please correct me if i'm wrong or maybe add another example to the wiki.
