You are probably looking for Poco::Net::HTMLForm and Poco::Net::HTTPRequest* classes found in the poco library (already in Debian along with documentation package) or at least to see their implementations as found in Net/src. > When the user clicks on a package in the GUI interface, they see the > description of the package.

I'm afraid that such frivoulous image fetching would be magnitude or two more heavier to serve than fetching the new packages for today from a local Debian mirror(s), since users are more likely to performe the latter once or twice per day, but the former any time they feel bored or experiencing a long long day ;-) -- pub 4096R/0E4BD0AB 2003-03-18 <people.fccf.net/danchev/key pgp.mit.edu> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
