Alright, So I tried to create a simple AsyncHttpClient, but I was unable to
figure out how to use it... This is as far as I got:
import httpclient, asyncdispatch, os
proc main() {.async.} =
var client = newAsyncHttpClient()
echo("HERE!")
var resp = await client.request("https://ca.yahoo.com/?p=us";)
echo("THERE!")
#writeFile("test.html", resp.body)
client.close()
var doneTest: bool = false
proc newWaitFor*[T](fut: Future[T]): T =
if (fut.finished == false):
echo("Before poll")
poll()
echo("After poll")
else:
doneTest = true
echo "done!"
fut.read
var i = 0
while doneTest == false:
i += 1
#echo (i)
if i >= 40:
newWaitFor(main())
It never actually completes for some reason...
