scotts LIBHTTP question - return results can be huge

Tim,

Take a look at http_url_post()

* http_url_post(): Post data to CGI script and get document
*
* peURL = url to post to (http://www.blah.com/cgi-bin/etc)
* pePostData = pointer to data to post to CGI script.
* pePostDataLen = length of data to post to CGI script.
* peFilename = Filename (in IFS) to save file into
* peTimeout = (optional) give up if no data is received for
* this many seconds.
* peContentType = (optional) content type to supply (mainly
* useful when talking to CGI scripts)
*
* Returns -1 upon failure, 0 upon timeout,
* 1 for success, or an HTTP response code
*++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

You'll have to read the stream file after it's stored in the IFS, but it should work for you.

Doug

Is there no way to save the results to a stream file instead of being
returned as a variable?
