Umm... Ryan... *what* are you talking about? :-) I do not recall ever discussing a client library in there. Nor as a motivation for APRUTIL. I'm happy to be disproved on that :-), but I'd rather see a separate library started for this. An http client library is a big chunk of code.
I just counted the LOC in aprutil just now. 24 kLOC. I would estimate that apr-client to be in the neighborhood of 7k to 10k LOC. That is a *big* change over today's apr-util. But that said, I'm am a BIG +1 on adding an http client library into the ASF's APR project. Whether people want that to go into apr-util or into a new apr-client, I'm not too concerned. Let's say: +1 on creating apr-client -0 on adding to apr-util [ but +1 if apr-client rejected :-) ] Cheers, -g On Wed, Sep 26, 2001 at 02:46:44PM -0700, Ryan Bloom wrote: > > There is supposed to be an http client library as a part of apr-util. > It's just that nobody has actually written it yet.
