Subject: | ocamlnet ( Http_client and other stuff ) |
Hi, after using Nethtml for HTNML-parsing (nice!) and Pcre (nice!) I now want to use other modules from the ocamlnet stuff. At the moment I want just write a simple webfile retriever. So, some http-get stuff for webpages. But later I may need more advanced features. Some years ago I tried some of the ocamlnet stuff, but have forgotten the details. As far as I can remember, there was an OO-based lib, which makes web access very easy, but for more specialized stuff, such as cookies, one should use the http_client library, because that OO-stuff did only provide simple protocoll stuff. I'm not sure if the other OO-stuff was enhanced since then. Is there an overview on the different libs, with recommendations, which library is useful for what task? Some examples also would be fine. BTW: there is Pcre as well as Netstring_pcre. When to use which? Should I always prefer Netstring_pcre for web stuff? Ciao, Oliver
