Re: Problem with AnyEvent::HTTP

Just a thought from a linux user...... maybe AnyEvent is using a pipe somewhere, and on windows, they are deap pipes, and throwing weird errors.

When AnyEvent needs a pipe it uses portable_pipe which usually maps to pipe, but on Windows it creates a pair of TCP sockets (same with socketpair / portable_socketpair), slow but works better (for AnyEvent's purposes) than pipe on windows.	[reply]

Thanks for pointer. I briefly skimmed through the code but I am not all that familiar with HTTP details to understand. The pipes are not only thing broken on Windows ... ;-) -- Roman	[reply]
