>From the LWP::UserAgent pod: The request can be aborted by calling die() in the callback routine. The die message will be available as the ``X-Died'' special response header field.

In other words, if the user wants to cancel the download, what should the "chunk processing" sub do? my $res = $ua->request(HTTP::Request->new(GET => "http://"; . $server . $page), sub { my($chunk, $res) = @_; print $chunk; # HOW DO I BAIL HERE? (PREVENT FURTHER DOWNLOADING) }); Thanks to everyone who helped me with Win32::Internet and who steered me toward LWP! -----Original Message----- From: Sisyphus [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 30, 2003 12:33 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeff Shanholtz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Thomas_M suggested using > LWP, but I just looked at the module (since at this point I'm willing to > do a complete rewrite to get past these problems) and I don't see how > you can request files a chunk at a time (which I require in order to > display continual status for big files). I think LWP::UserAgent will accommodate your needs. >From its documentation: request() " can also take an optional chunk size as the third argument. This variant can be used to construct "pipe-lined" processing, where processing of received chunks can begin before the complete data has arrived."
