This is probably a stupid question, but how do you do line-oriented blocking
socket reads in Pth?  There's a pth_read() which I assume blocks until a
specified number of bytes (or eof) are received -- but I'm looking for
something like pth_gets() to block until a newline is received.  I don't
think you could even write a simple webserver in Pth without such a
function, though you could of course implement it yourself via a
non-blocking pth_read in a loop.  I'll implement it myself if need be,
though I would rather trust someone else's code, as I've never used Pth
before and there are lots of tricky error conditions in socket programming.

The documentation at http://www.gnu.org/software/pth/pth-manual.html
includes a simple output-only server as a code example -- is there an
input/output example somewhere?

Thanks for any help,

Damon Hastings
