No, it's me being caffeine-deprived and jet-lagged from the time change. I missed that you want progress reports on the fly. Try opening the process for neither, as non-intuitive as that sounds. > But I've been so impressed with the performance of wget and curl that > I'm considering replacing some libURL stuff in GUI apps with them, > provided I can find a way to provide download feedback for the user. wget has the disadvantage of only supporting GETs and POSTs. Curl will do better, but has some annoying cross-platform differences. Httpie does a better job and has a more intuitive syntax than curl, but it doesn't yet support client certificates in a stable release. -- -Mark Wieder ahsoftw...@gmail.com This communication may be unlawfully collected and stored by the National Security Agency (NSA) in secret.
