Hi, hmm, i in fact don't need to be able to read to the end of the transmission since the POSTing includes a payload length. Therefore it would be sufficient (or even better since this wouldn't impose timeouts) to be able to "read up to character x or up to n bytes (whatever happens first)".
How is this done in uip? Till -- Dr.Ing. Till Harbaum <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.harbaum.org/till
