[Htmlparser-developer] Re: HTMLReader design needs to be modified (dev opinion solicited)

[Stephen J. H. <Ste...@tr...>]

I already created a work around, so it doesn't kill me.

I just hated to have to spend the time to make a new connection to the
source I am scraping since the pipe I am using is small.

I would be fine with it the way it is, provided the docs are updated.

Thanks for looking into this.
