Yeah, hi, glad to be here again. The downloader is sketched out on each platform and now we can move on to the arduous task of debugging. (And I still have to hook it all into the image cache.)
You can check out samples/simple-downloader.rb to get an idea. Basically: download "http://code.whytheluckystiff.net/entirety/entirety.png", :save => "entirety.png" Will spawn a download thread. It's much like XMLHttpRequest in the browser. You attach blocks to the download to get back progress notification. If you attach a block to `download`, it'll get notified on completion: download "http://code.whytheluckystiff.net/entirety/entirety.png", :save => "entirety.png" do |dl| info "That was #{dl.length} bytes" end I'm still working on getting you back headers and response text. And docs. All this week. And request methods and all that. _why
