Hi all, I have three questions: 1) Is it possible to measure the time between sending a request and receiving the FIRST packet of the reply using the libwww? 2) It seems to me that the libwww does not keep any statistical info about a request (for example the total download time, an estimation of the RTT, etc.). Am I right? Are there any plans to add this capabilities in future versions? 3) When a get a reply for a request, I examine the HTRequest object and I see that the net field is always zero. This field stores information about the socket which was used during the transfer. A zero (NULL) value indicates either that the connection was closed after the reply or that the value was zeroed before returning the result to the user (maybe because the user must not be able to have access to the socket?). I know that the first case must not be true since I'm using persistent connections and pipelining and I can see that the connection is kept open. What actually happens? Also, is it possible to access the socket before the connection closes? Cheers, Christos Gkantsidis
