Re: Re: Re: Grabbing a web page without LWP or the like

Psst -- the module doesn't use the LWP suite. If you checked the source to the module, you'd see it just uses the standard IO::Socket module. I put it in the LWP namespace because it's similar in function.

Tsk, tsk. So quick to prejudge...

Naw, I was looking at "and the like": you import URI::Escape. I will admit that your code would be a good place to go hunting to help in another implementation, and the import of URI::Escape highlights some of the issues you need to think about in addressing HTTP negotiations. It wouldn't be that hard to steal the appropriate stuff from that module, I suppose. Oh: when I downloaded your .tar.gz, it was just a .tar -- either my browser did a conversion on the fly without changing the extension or you never gzipped your archive.	[reply]
