Re: [Grub-develop] CRW finished...

[Doug S. <dou...@se...>]

Oh, good.  I'm glad that the "client" stuff in the server repository is
going to be deleted.  It doesn't compile unless you do several things:

*  you have to #define NEED_PROTO in both main.cpp and port.h (weird stuff
   if you ask me...)
*  you have to cast szURL to a char * in the strcat() call in Kosta's change
   to http4_url.c to get rid of a couple of compiler warnings
*  you have to cast Rc in http4_ex.c to an unsigned int where it says in the 
   comments that it will generate a signed/unsigned mismatch (this probably 
   would be safe because the bizarre network abstraction library looks 
   like it already handles error conditions, so Rc would be positive 
   by the time it got here, or zero if nothing was received) to get rid of
   the signed/unsigned mismatch
*  and you have to link against wsock32.lib

That allows it to compile cleanly AND allows it to link.

At least it actually works as advertised after all of that.  Of course,
it's not anything but a little test suite.

I'm glad you're getting rid of it.  It's distracting.  And it's not useful
in any way, except perhaps as an exercise for a C Programming 101 class.

If the the "client" in the server repository was a test to see who could
get it to compile cleanly, I want a gold star for completing the assignment.
