Re: making http request with gforth

I am trying to do a (very simple and naive) http-request

  r@ pad 80 read-socket
  r> close-socket ;
#+end_src
[...]
additional question - has anyone already done bindings for
libcurl?

Try:
require unix/socket.fs

: test-http
 s" httpbin.org" 80 open-socket >r
 s" GET  HTTP/1.1\nHost httpbin.org\n\n" r@ write-socket
 200 ms
 r@ pad 80 read-socket .s
 r> close-socket
 cr type ;

Result after: test-http

HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Server: awselb/2.0

thanks - that did it - so at least from a conceptual point of view :) I
did it right...

but what would be right way to /wait/ for a response? 200ms is just a
guess, isn't it? :)

Note: The site begins with https in a browser!

yep, ssl/tls would be my next question, actually I hoped, someone could
point me to a library f.e. incorporating libcurl or something similar.
