Hi Yogi,
<< is it possible to interrupt a download without loosing the data?
I want to download a big file from an HTTP-server. With
read/skip it is possible to make a resume-download. But, if
I press the Esc-key in the REBOL-Console, all the data ist lost.
Is it possible to read the data in a loop, which checks
everytime, if I pressing a key on my keyboard and then
breaks the download and saves the data to a file? >>
I haven't tried anything like that, but I'm guessing you could figure
something out if you dug into the source for the HTTP scheme. I don't know
of any built-in feature to do it, but that's not my area of expertise
either.
