digitalmars.D.learn - Internet Library For Tango

Is There another internet library for tango besides the one it possesses.  One
that allows you to use the same thing for ftp and http without you having to
worry about what you're using.  This would be nice if it is in existence.

AFAIK, this don't exist yet, but we hope to get FTP and HTTP/WebDav support
via our Virtual File System interface.

I've needed to use FTP via FTP client and have written a class that
"supposedly" hides if it's ftp or not from the user.  Problem is 
tango's FtpClient cannot resolve ftp://ftp.digitalmars.com/ or
htttp://ftp.digitalmars.com/

See the exception for yourself
tango.core.Exception.AddressException: Unable to resolve host
'http://ftp.digitalmars.com/'

besides that I'd be willing to donate my ftp/http indifference code once it can
do FTP.

I'm not familiar with WebDav.

If any of the information above was useful or you would like me to donate my
ftp/http indifference code when finished please let me know.

I suspect you need to pass just the host name, not the complete URL 
form.  i.e. strip ftp:// from the front and /..etc from the end.

Thanks that is just the information I needed; now I can rewrite my library to
use a progress bar

If someon with authority in tango will give me the go I'll rewrite it once
again to rid it of the need of progress bars(needed for dinstaller) so it will
be generic and usable for you.  Maybe you could use it for tango vfs (HTTP/FTP)
or maybe not; I don't know. I am more than willing to donate my code to you who
have created such a fine library for me and others to use. Thanks tango group
and maybe you will want my download wrapper class.
