| Summary | 0003502: No more curl | ||||
| Description | Is it possible to build in remote inculdes into unreal4 rather than using curl or the like.. 14:05:56 <&Peppery> curl is a massive nigger | ||||
| 3rd party modules | |||||
|
|
it is indeedly possible and simple to grab plain text files with just sockets and no special libraries, but when it comes to SSL, FTP and FTP+SSL it gets a little more difficult. Do you have a suggestion for a different lib/utility or can code a module that can do this without extras and reliance on external utilities not already used by Insp/U4? |
|
|
Not quite yet, I'm just a piddly little QA. |
|
|
Also, libcurl also provides: FTP, FTPS, HTTP, HTTPS, SCP, SFTP, TFTP, TELNET, DICT, FILE and LDAP Which is more than we can ever do and would die trying.. I think libcurl when you want remoteincludes is a good thing. |

Keeping curl/remoteinclude support to a module could be handy though. Make it possible for those who only use http, only use https, only use ftp(s), etc can have a module that just does that without needing the whole beast of libcurl. As Bugz said, it's not hard to code a HTTP client for the purpose, and I'm sure the SSL provider modules can make it simpler to handle HTTPS. I've personally sorta wanted to see something that could yank STDOUT from a command. Easier to do scripted stuff on data that's only used on one server without the overhead/overkill of an httpd. (But naturally such thing should only accept stuff from local configs, if it's possible to tell.) |

|
I've pointed Dan in direction of making an API for this stuff so we can modulary change what method people use. So we can choose between curl/exec() etc etc. |
