[REBOL] Does request-download download all file into memory?
From: petr::krenzelok::trz::cz at: 6-Feb-2002 11:51
Hi,
I just tried to download one large file from our intranet and was
wondering, that "Not enough memory" message appeared in Rebol in
console.
Could anyone look at request-download ---> read-thru ----> read-net
functions, as it seems to me that read-net function reads only part of
the port, but it appends it to buffer, which is just rebol word, not
opened file ...
If so, then I don't understand why it is so, because if read-net/to is
specified, we alredy know name of the file we can spool partialy
downloaded data into. I sometimes miss such anync + memory safe behavior
of default rebol functions. I know I can code it myself, but ....
simplicity in default distro is always welcomed ;-)
