Hello everybody
I heard about Rust a few weeks ago and am very excited by this new
language.
To get a grip I have created a simple web server, with the v0.5 of the
language: https://github.com/schaars/simple-web-server
It is quite limited, as it handles only 1 client at a time and HTTP
1.0 GET request, but it was interesting to write. Feel free to make
any comment :)
I have a few questions about the language. I hope this mailing list is
the right place to ask.
1) When I read a file, how can I make the difference between "file not
found" and "not authorized to open file"? In my web server I cannot
make it because in both cases the Result returned by
io::read_whole_file() is Err(~"error opening file").
It's not possible at the moment. The I/O library just needs to be
improved here.
2) I have not found how to use a single channel (pipes::stream)
between 1 sender and n receivers. Is it possible?
The solution I found (but not implemented because I had a vector size
problem (https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/5112)), is to create
several channels and write to them in a round-robin manner, but it's
not ideal.
Again, there is no abstraction for this in the libraries yet.
4) I have found a prototype error in
http://static.rust-lang.org/doc/core/files/str-rs.html#bytes : the
name of the function is to_bytes() instead of bytes(). By the way,
this page is very useful but hard to find: I have not found any link
from www.rust-lang.org
Wow! I'm not sure how you found that file, but it is a remnant of the
pre-0.1 Rust documentation. It should not exist on the server.
Best regards
