Re: Dumb (?) Question

Hi Jon,

HTTPAPI can receive data and present it to your application in three 
different ways:

1) Raw form, where the bytes are handed to your program via "callback" 
procedure as they are received off the wire.

2) Stream file, where the bytes are saved to a *STMF object.

3) XML parsed form, where the data is handed to Expat, which parses it, 
and calls one of two 'handler' routines, one for the opening/starting 
tags of each XML element, and one for the closing/ending tags of each 
XML element.  I have "enhanced" (depending on your viewpoint, I guess) 
this process so that the character data is buffered up and returned to 
the ending element handler as an additional parameter.

I do not currently have a way to return the data as a string, except via 
the "raw form", where you could easily accumulate it into a string yourself.

Sorry if that disappoints you.
