Re: [Announce] euLibCurl - An internet protocol transfer library
Can you just make simple internet functions, like:
file_handle = open_internet_file (url)
size = get_internet_file_size (file_handle)
bool = does_internet_file_exist (file_handle)
data = read_internet_file (file_handle)
read_internet_file_bytes_by_bytes (file_handle, routineid)
close_internet_file (file_handle)
So that they would work with ftp and http?
