Alas, it appears that there is a bug in the libwww code. I am able to reproducibly trigger errors with my xmonad repository, in which a download fails without giving a failure message. It exits with success, but the downloaded file has size zero. :( So I'm deprecating the libwww bindings for now (making them non-default, but leaving them there, so interested folks could compile with them using configure --with-libwww), and plan to remove them before the 2.0 release, unless they get fixed (and I don't have time to fix them). -- David Roundy Department of Physics Oregon State University _______________________________________________ darcs-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-devel
