# net:fetch
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is a simple wrapper over `curl` (https://curl.haxx.se). It
|
||
|
|
uses the `unix:popen` word to initiate a pipe to curl and stores
|
||
|
|
the returned data into a buffer.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This takes in three values:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- the URL to fetch
|
||
|
|
- the destination buffer
|
||
|
|
- a maximum number of bytes to read
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The buffer should be at least one cell longer than the max to
|
||
|
|
allow for the NULL termination.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## The Code
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
~~~
|
||
|
|
:net:fetch (san-n)
|
||
|
|
[ [ buffer:set
|
||
|
|
'curl_-s_%s s:format file:R unix:popen ] dip
|
||
|
|
[ dup file:read 0; buffer:add ] times unix:pclose
|
||
|
|
buffer:start s:length ] buffer:preserve ;
|
||
|
|
~~~
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Test Case
