Avi, I'd like to participate in the experiment (not that i believe that this an easy way to get beer, but i think squeakers should start doing such kind of stuff :)). So, here is the initial version of the libcurl binding for the start: http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/5865'
Awesome. It looks like this blocks the VM for now, right? It would of course be most-useful to get the non-blocking API working... but in the meantime, where do I send the beer?
I've compiled it on Windows, I think that it should compile normally on other platorms (one needs to have a working vwmaker setup and libcurl and openssl libs&headers installed, obviously). Making it robust and feature-complete will require additional effort, i may do it myself or give it away to anybody who wishes
Well, to flesh out the experiment: I'll put up a $1500 USD bounty for the finished version (including compiled plugins for Mac/Windows/ Linux). Danil, if others come forward to help, I nominate you to do the split.
Cheers, Avi
