Asynchronous HTTP Requests, now with callbacks! (Read 622 times)

Asynchronous HTTP Requests, now with callbacks!
Oct 2nd, 2006, 5:22am  
Hello all!

I'm working on a new library that makes asynchronous http requests (web pages, xml feeds, etc.) without blocking possible.   It runs its own thread and uses a callback (just like with serial, video, etc.)  This developed out of a need that I noticed in student projects in my Introduction to Computational Media course at ITP.

It's all very rough and could use some better documentation, but I thought I might let folks take a look, test it out, and provide feedback.  You can download and read about it here:

Source code is in the zip for the curious.  It's all based on information here:

Oh, and a beer to whomever can help me name this thing!

Enjoy!
Dan
