Hello everyone,

Python has a library named urllib which can be found at
http://docs.python.org/library/urllib2.html. 

Does Phobos have anything similar to this library? All I need is fetching data
from a web site.

I've been using the curl library with a thin wrapper in D:

http://arsdnet.net/dcode/curl.d

Example use:

 dmd test.d curl.d -L-lcurl
=====
import std.stdio;
import arsd.curl;


void main() {
	writefln("%s", curl("http://arsdnet.net/dcode/curl.d"));
}
=====

That fetches the code off my site and prints it out.

Just FYI, if you add 'pragma(lib, "curl");' to the top of your
curl.d file, you shouldn't need '-L-lcurl' any more; dmd will
add it automatically during linking.

Best,
Graham

Very cool. For some reason, I thought that didn't work on linux... I
must have just been doing it wrong before.

Thanks!

I had been thinking it was just a feature of "bud". Very good to know.

It works well with .d files, but not with import (.di) files. Both on 
Windows and Linux. Maybe I miss something?

I don't think there is anything usable in Phobos at the moment. However,
several people have written bindings for libCURL, which will do what you
need.

I've got one here:

http://github.com/gmfawcett/d-play-libcurl/blob/master/fawcett/curl.d

There's one on dsource, here:

Graham,


I see your translation of libcurl's header is fairly complete. May I 
copy it into std.etc? We wanted to put libcurl there for a long time 
(Walter even exchanged emails with its author), and it would be a 
timesaver to copy yours.

After we have the basic translation we should define higher-level APIs 
in Phobos that cloak it (libcurl has an unsafe interface).


Thanks,

Andrei

Yes -- I am happy to share it with the Phobos team.
