[Grub-develop] CCOM

[Kostadin D. <ko...@ho...>]

Hi All,

I have been working on the Client Communication part of the project. It is 
pretty much an implementation of the TCP/HTTP protocols.
Recently, the library I have been modifying to fit our purposes (tcp4u), has 
crashed on the Linux box possibly because it has trouble with the 
multithreading. This in addition to the robustness of the tcp4u library (it 
includes even UDP and SMTP support) and its lack of support for HTTP 1.1 
have made me reconsider if we should use tcp4u or something else for this 
purpose.
I looked through Mozzila.org's netlib and W3C's libwww for this purpose. 
Here's what I saw about them:

netlib:
current version does not support a multithreaded approach, instead uses a 
loop call back mechanism; supports only parts of http 1.1 specs; good 
documentation;

libwww:
too big and robust; supports XML, CSS and everything else; fully supports 
HTTP 1.1.

The reason I have outlined these here is that I was wondering if anybody 
knows of some other library we can look at or if you have any comments of 
the current/supposed functionality of this. Give me some feedback!!!

Kosta
