digitalmars.D - libcurl

I sat down to write an announcement to the libcurl mailing list that we 
have support for it starting with 2.053. To my surprise, when I tried to 
provide a link to the documentation, there wasn't any available.

Furthermore, when I tried to generate documentation it came messed up. 
Obviously ddoc had never been run against the module.

What should we do? Fix this or wait until Jonas' D native bindings come up?


Thanks,

Andrei

If there's anything I need to do then let me hear.

Would be great if you found the time to make a pull request with fixed 
documentation for etc/c/curl. Generate the html document however you 
wish and I'll take care of integrating it with the general template etc.

Thanks,

It seems to be on digitalmars.com now so I guess you did it yourself :)

Walter did, last night. I mentioned to him that he should tell you in 
order to avoid duplicate work, but he must've forgotten (as did I), so 
I'm glad you looked it up.

I'm slowly going through all the suggestions I received in the "Curl 
wrapper" thread. I still haven't fixed the recycling buffers though.

Great. It's very exciting that once that is done, a two-stroke download 
program that transfers data at optimal speed is a five-liner:

import std.exception, std.net.curl, std.stdio;

void main(string[] args) {
     enforce(args == 2, "Usage: " ~ args[0] ~ " url");
     foreach (chunk; Http.byChunk(args[1])) {
         stdout.rawWrite(chunk);
     }
}

If we play our cards right, then (a) the memory allocated will be 
constant in the size of the input, (b) reading and writing will not 
block each other (except when buffers are full or starved), and (c) 
transfer rate will be optimal, i.e. never slower than the minimum of 
input and output rate.

I'm really looking forward to this.

I did pretty much a whack job on it, merely converting the existing comments to 
ddoc comments, just to fill the void.

It could definitely benefit from a more professional take on it -

1. providing sections such as License:, Copyright:, etc., like other Phobos
modules

2. include hyperlinks to where to get libcurl, online documentation for curl,
etc.
