You decide when to stop (and restart, see discussion at [1] - the bug has been fixed) the event loop. As an example of how it can be used, I wrote this small example which first issues a number of GET requests and then goes into the event loop. Another model would be to issue the new request every time libwww returns by calling the after filters. http://www.w3.org/Library/Examples/mget.c linked from http://www.w3.org/Library/Examples/ linked from http://www.w3.org/Library/ PS: You can also get these samples directly from CVS: http://www.w3.org/Library/cvs.html Henrik [1] http://www.egroups.com/list/www-lib/606.html -- Henrik Frystyk Nielsen, World Wide Web Consortium http://www.w3.org/People/Frystyk
