http.tcl help/howto

Hi all.

I'm working on a imdb script (another one?, yes, another one, need a special one ), but i need to work with http.tcl package for it. I got a other imdb script what i'm using as a kinda 'source' for my script. The only problem is i don't realy get (good enough) how the http.tcl works. I checked the tcl dir in linux on my shell and found the package, but no documentation in that dir nor an url in the .tcl file for help or anything.
So has any1 a url or how-to or doc. for the http.tcl package so i can learn what it does and how it works??

Thx, zygomaticum.

Your quick howto:

You can either have a callback, (it gets the page then calls another procedure) or, you can use it just to get it there and then.. (but this is dangerous as it can cause the eggdrop to freeze if it is unavaliable)

Code: Select all

set token [::http::geturl "http://www.egghelp.com]
set data [::http::data $token]

$data now contains the egghelp.com 'index'.

alternatively..

Code: Select all

set mydata "$nick"
set token [::http::geturl "http://www.egghelp.com" -command [list mycallback "$mydata"]]

<snip>

proc mycallback {mydata token} {
  set data [::http::data $token]
  putserv "PRIVMSG $mydata :Hellow there! Prepare to be drowned in egghelp.com!"
  foreach z [split $data \n] {
    putserv "PRIVMSG $mydata :$z"
  }
}
