This is the new fetch(3) library, which is to replace the ftpio(3)
|
|||
|
|
library and provide a new, unified backend for all fetch(1),
|
|||
|
|
pkg_add(1) and sysinstall(8).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Note that this is very much work in progress. It compiles (with a few
|
|||
|
|
warnings), but there is much left to be implemented. Amongst other
|
|||
|
|
items:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* The man page needs work. Really. I mean it. Now.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* ftp.c is not even half-written.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* HTTP authentication doesn't work. I'm not sure if I bungled http.c
|
|||
|
|
or fubared base64.c (which was ripped from MIT fetch(1)).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* The library needs a decent interface for reporting errors. I've
|
|||
|
|
started on something (sending back an error code in the url_t that
|
|||
|
|
was sent in) but we're Not There (tm) yet.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Comments, patches etc. of all kinds are welcome, but please don't
|
|||
|
|
commit anything without talking to me first.
