Now that there's socket.e and http.e (and presumeably more .e protocols), is http://sourceforge.net/projects/eunet dead?
I have modified http.e severely, to reduce bugs, make it easier to use, and implement POST. Do these changes need to be migrated back to eunet?
I have not touched/tested the cookie code in http.e.
Michael, will you be porting SMTP.e to /net/SMTP.e in Eu4? Have you done a POP3.e? If you aren't, can someone else move these to Eu4?
useless

I think what she is asking is, she just made changes to std/net/http.e and added the ability for POST support. This kind of update will continue on 4.0. We hope to have at some time, ftp.e, smtp.e, pop3.e, imap.e, etc...
We are also, before beta 1, going to make socket.e work nice with Windows 98. So, these changes, will they be ported back to eunet by you or ?

Other than emergency maintenance, I have not been able to actively work with Euphoria or even in Euphoria for about 6 months now. In addition, once a version 4 eubin was required to compile Euphoria, I have not been able to keep up with the development versions. Since I don't have time right now anyway, I was going to wait until at least the betas before adding enhancements. Since you've so graciously done a lot of that work, Kat, you are welcome to continue as you see fit. My roadmap for eunet is to keep it as the bleeding edge version once it's been updated for 4.0. I'll try to incorporate some of the supporting pieces like SMTP, FTP, POP, etc. into the standard library for 4.1+, etc. I don't think they should be part of the standard library until they are RFC complete and thoroughly tested on all platforms. This is what eunet is going to be for.
As for making socket.e play nice on Win98, you may have some issues there. There are a handful of functions that are only available on Win2K+. I can promise you that I won't have time to come up with workarounds before the rest of 4.0 final is ready. Anyone else who wants to take a crack at it is more than welcome to do so.
