Thanks dom96, when I try to download using httpclient.download file I get
Error: 'threadFunc' is not GC-safe as it accesses 'defaultSSLContext'
which is a global using GC'ed memory
I've never used threads before, so my scripting may be wrong, here is my
attempt at it:
import locks
import httpclient
var L: Lock
proc threadFunc(interval: tuple[url, output: string]) {.thread.} =
acquire(L) # lock stdout
echo interval.url
downloadFile(interval.url, interval.output)
#echo interval.b
release(L)
initLock(L)
var thread: Thread[tuple[url, output: string]]
createThread(thread, threadFunc,
("http://s2.q4cdn.com/242125233/files/doc_downloads/test.pdf";, "test.pdf"))
joinThread(thread)
It's roughly based on the example here:
[http://nim-lang.org/docs/threads.html](http://forum.nim-lang.org///nim-lang.org/docs/threads.html)
I have yet to try the AsyncHttpServer method, I'll have to try that one next.
