The url to receive content from
Data to HTTP Post
Yes.keepTerminator signals that the line terminator should be returned as part of the lines in the range.
The character that terminates a line
The number of lines buffered asynchronously
The connection to use e.g. HTTP or FTP.
A range of Char[] with the content of the resource pointer to by the URL.
import std.net.curl, std.stdio; // Get some pages in the background auto range1 = byLineAsync("www.google.com"); auto range2 = byLineAsync("www.wikipedia.org"); foreach (line; byLineAsync("dlang.org")) writeln(line); // Lines already fetched in the background and ready foreach (line; range1) writeln(line); foreach (line; range2) writeln(line);
import std.net.curl, std.stdio; // Get a line in a background thread and wait in // main thread for 2 seconds for it to arrive. auto range3 = byLineAsync("dlang.com"); if (range3.wait(dur!"seconds"(2))) writeln(range3.front); else writeln("No line received after 2 seconds!");
HTTP/FTP fetch content as a range of lines asynchronously.
A range of lines is returned immediately and the request that fetches the lines is performed in another thread. If the method or other request properties is to be customized then set the conn parameter with a HTTP/FTP instance that has these properties set.
If postData is non-_null the method will be set to post for HTTP requests.
The background thread will buffer up to transmitBuffers number of lines before it stops receiving data from network. When the main thread reads the lines from the range it frees up buffers and allows for the background thread to receive more data from the network.
If no data is available and the main thread accesses the range it will block until data becomes available. An exception to this is the wait(Duration) method on the LineInputRange. This method will wait at maximum for the specified duration and return true if data is available.
