[sword-devel] SWORD 1.7 (https)

Sun Apr 29 17:17:08 MST 2012

Heya all,

Just a warning about this based on code I wrote for this . . . . I'm assuming this uses the same code behind the scenes as the HTTP stuff for parsing & grabbing the files?  While that code I wrote works great for the CrossWire Apache server, it chokes on the output of some other httpd servers.  It's pretty basic parsing & it would be great if we did things more like how a recursive wget works?  Not sure if that's an option in libcurl that we currently do use, but perhaps it's something we should look into?

Thanks, ybic
	nic...  :)
