[Apt-proxy-users] NetServer::Generic

[Jason B. <ja...@ed...>]

I noticed this in the docs, and I don't know how difficult it would be to 
solve it:

"Bug the first:

NetServer::Generic attempts to make it easy to write a
server by letting the programmer concentrate on reading
from STDIN and writing to STDOUT.  However, this form of
i/o is line oriented.  NetServer::Generic relies on the
buffering and i/o capabilities provided by Perl and
IO::Socket respectively. It doesn't buffer its own input."

The examples show something like:

while (defined ($tmp = <STDIN>)) { }

Couldn't you do a sysread() instead so that you could pull in blocks of input 
from the client (apt-get) and the server (debian mirror) where STDIN will 
play a role?
