I see... yeah, I thought about going this route but the reason it didn't seem particularly "robust" to me is that I would have to read the entire object into memory at once before passing it in as bytes. IMO it would be better to have the option to provide ports with file data so the data could be streamed in without reading the whole data into memory. However that would, I still think, require being able to access the http-conn struct accessors at the very least.
At any rate, if you don't mind, send what you have! I'm in the middle of a hackathon and it might help me deliver some cool things faster :) Please do mark your work with a libre license if you upload it so I can safely incorporate it :) Philip McGrath writes: > I don't think there's a multipart-writing library yet, and it would be a > great thing to have. > > I've written little multipart-writing functions for a small proxy server > built on `http-sendrecv/url` and for sending email using `net/sendmail` > with html and text/plain alternatives.
