[Ocamlnet-devel] Seeking advice for a couple of issues

[John D. <jde...@vf...>]

Hi All,

I've been working with Http_client to develop a no-frills CouchDb 
driver. I'm relatively new to OCaml, but have many years of experience 
with various imperative langs.

I'm looking for help with a couple of issues. My first issue is Basic 
Authentication. I've noticed that Basic Auth and Basic Auth Session 
do not include the "Authorization:" header when making GET or PUT 
requests UNLESS a challenge is received. Is this the expected 
behavior? Not a serious issue as it's easy to add my own 
Authorization entry to the header. Apparently CouchDb does not send an auth challenge.

The second issue is chunked request performance. When peforming a 
query against CouchDb (say _all_docs for example) via a GET request, 
Ocamlnet seems to have issues processing the returned data. CouchDb 
returns many small blocks of data in chunked format. Processing a 
collection of 1000 docs can take several minutes. I'm not sure if 
this relates to the event system performance or socket performance. 
Does any one know of a solution to this issue?

Thanks to all who contributed to the development of Ocamlnet. It's an 
impressive collection of work.

Regards,
John
