Re: Retrieving Files via 'net with Euphoria Program
I made my own new wrapper for libcurl from scratch. I don't use Ray's. I have
not offered it for public consumption because it is highly customized to my needs
and highly entangled with many of my other personal libraries. I can see about
making a public version if there is interest. Although I am able to access https
pages with CURL, I've not really figured out the stuff to do with certificates,
etc. I usually end up putting it in a mode where SSL is enabled but it doesn't
actually check the authethticity of the remote site's certificates, etc. For my
needs this doesn't matter, but if you want true full SSL security you'd have to
figure out that stuff.
For most people, using the built-in (to Windows) wininet.dll is probably
preferable, however. It can handle secure communications automatically without
you doing anything special at all (just use https instead of http). There is a
Euphoria wrapper for it in the archive somewhere. I used to use it for
everything internet related, but switched to CURL because I wanted to use its
"Multi" interface, which is sort of simlulated async mode that works in
Euphoria's single-threaded environment (I couldn't get the async stuff in
wininet.dll working in Eu). CURL is also much easier to understand than
Microsoft stuff for my feeble brain...
