AW: mget from disk

as far as i know, you don't need the event-loop for starting
a GET.
Perhaps this is a workaround :-)

Betreff: mget from disk


Hello. I've modified libwww/Library/examples/mget.c
so that it can get files from disk, and I've noticed
a peculiarity. 

When I use mget to download a web page from the
network, everything works as it should. However, 
when I try to load a file from disk, the first
load seems to work, but then libwww seems to get
hung up in its event loop. 

The terminate handler is never called, and I must
eventually hit Control-C. 

When I do hit the break key, gdb says that
processing stopped in the select() function. 
Is this a bug in my program, in the library, 
or just a misuse of features?

I'm using Linux(elf). 

Here is my modified mget.c:
