Company Name : BBN Corporation Questions: 1) Are you actively using libwww (version) : ? Yes, Version 3.1 2) If yes in 1) for what purpose(s) : A) As part of a commercial product : Yes B) As part of a research development : Yes C) As part of internal Web tools : Yes D) Other : 3) Main reason for (not) using it : It allows us to keep up with the changing standard and not have to reimplement the wheel. 4) Give main feature(s) you like : Multi threading and Multi protocols 5) Give main feature(s) you hate : Complex API, it is in C instead of C++. 6) Optional comments : We don't really understand why non-W3C member have to wait extra time before getting the library. Seems everybody benefits from the bug reports of the "world". If this were a commercial product, I could understand the delay, but isn't it just silly to make everybody wait? Surely, people don't join the W3C to get the software a month or two earlier.
