IANrms and all that. Nice acronym. :) I'd implement the glue code for both Emacs and XEmacs, so it would definitely need to be GPL'd which points towards libghttp or wget, but libghttp doesn't really work all that well, and the asynchronousness leaves a lot to be desired (polling - ick). I might break down and look at libwww again tonight - if I can leave out the chunks I don't need, it should be able to integrate with the event loops nicely. If it can deal with Gtk, it should be childs play to make it work with Emacs/XEmacs. :) -Bill P.

This seems to be addressed only to XEmacs, but I think it would be helpful generally only to consider libraries which rms approves for Emacs use. (This sort of thing came up recently, and it seems that a library with a GPL-compatible licence may not need an assignment of the code, so there _may_ not be much of an issue.) IANrms and all that.

Sending an email with a patch to > Xemacs-beta asking if it is ok - and then apply it? That would be using xemacs-beta as a substitute review but that should work. It would just be nice if you sent a confirmation message to the patch author and xemacs-review when you actually apply the patch. Maybe you should maintain a list of applied patches, like Vince does for the .1.x releases. Jan

I'd like to wait with applying patches until I've got CVS write access. I'm now downloading the xemacs-patches archives from july to november 1999. I think it's better to take a full month each. How do you want to handle this? Sending an email with a patch to Xemacs-beta asking if it is ok - and then apply it?

URL loading library? 25 years, 2 months

William M. Perry

I was contemplating finally rewriting the HTTP code in Emacs/W3 in C. Does anybody have ideas for what HTTP library to use? I'd prefer not having to write it myself. The `libghttp' stuff from gnome looks like it could be useful. It can do asynch fetches, etc. Another alternative would be to use the W3C libwww, but I never really had good experiences with that back in my Spry days (but that was more than 4 years ago). There is code to glue it into the gtk event mechanism at http://cvs.gnome.org/lxr/source/gnorpm/tests/glibwww.c that could be fairly easily adapted to the XEmacs event mechanism. Alternatively, we could ask hrvoje to let us use the code from wget, but I don't know if that allows for asynch fetches or not. Suggestions anyone? -Bill P.

I propose that it should (by default) always use dotlocking (even together with any other method). Jan

Do you have CVS access already (or a working tree?), maybe we could try a divide and conquer approach. Everybody takes half a month from July to now and then we sift through the backlog that way testing patches and recommending them. Many are of the obviously correct type.
