Parsing data via persistent HTTP on-the-fly? (Read 240 times)

Parsing data via persistent HTTP on-the-fly?
Jan 22nd, 2009, 5:05am  
I have a sketch that currently uses a static CSV file as its data input.  Naturally, it uses loadStrings() and split() to read in the text file and parse the values.

I'd like to modify the sketch to take data over a persistent HTTP connection.  Ideally, the sketch would connect to a server, which would feed it one line of data at a time (also comma-separated, or whatever is easiest).  The data would need to be parsed and relayed to arrays and objects in real-time, without waiting for the data input to "finish" (as it would be ongoing).

Is there an easy (or known) way to establish such a persistent HTTP connection and parse its results on-the-fly?

Thanks tons in advance.
