Hi folks, I'd like to be able to fetch data from an HTTPS url. I don't see this capability within the existing Chicken eggs. A libcurl binding for chicken would probably be the most expedient route. [...]
Hello, I'm sorry I can't offer a ready-made binding ;) But instead of binding to libcurl wouldn't it be nicer to program some convenient interface to OpenSSL instead -- best something very similar to the existing tcp interface, just like the API available in PLT Scheme for example -- and adapt other existing eggs, for example the http egg, to support it? It may be a little more work but it could be used much more generally -- for example it would nearly instantly give SSL capabilities to spiffy as well! Actually I was planning to program something like that for a while -- so maybe I'll put it on top of my CHICKEN todo list now :) cu, Thomas _______________________________________________ Chicken-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
