With this one I think we're basically done!
Perl6 LWP::Simple gets chunked transfers support. It's probably not excellent or universally working, but for the examples I could try and test, it's totally fine. If you find some URLs where it's broken, please tell me.
I also threw in the getstore()
method to save URLs locally.
So, LWP::Simple for Perl 6 is here and it's working. It's not yet "complete" compared to the Perl 5 version, but now that I got the hard bits working, and the internals can perform a full http response parsing, I'll try to reach a 100% API compatibility with the Perl 5 one (where it makes sense).
Try it and let me know. Have fun!
