The current code is extremely bare-bones. At some point, it would be nice to add resumable downloading, and I'm wondering whether it would be more sensible to grab and integrate some pre-existing library, rather then re-implement that functionality ourselves.
The other motivation for this is that if we do not bring in a library to replace this code, then it will need to be significantly rewritten to break the ties between GUI and logic, and probably also needs an audit of the C string manipulation and error handling.
So, I'm looking for comments, and suggestions for candidate http/ftp client libraries to investigate.
Max.
