Sounds good. I am worried that even with the iostream integration the proposal won't have Doug's one-line wget implementation, but we'll see.
Shouldn't that be expected as it's a networking library and not a HTTP library?
I'm not asking for an HTTP library. I'm asking for it to be utterly trivial to 1) Establish a connection to a remote site 2) Write some data over that connection 3) Read some data from that connection 4) Terminate the connection And I'd like those 4 bullets to take about 4 lines of code. It doesn't need perfect error handling, it doesn't need to handle redirects, it just needs to do the obvious thing in an obvious way. Doug
