Subject: Re: HTTP IO??

Well, I'd advise reading 

http://redhanded.hobix.com/inspect/theStoryOfStreamingHttpThroughMouseho
leWithSubsequentAdventuresInContinuationsAndDuckTyping.html

And using the code there for the HTTPIO object. It's what works for
mousehole, which I've been using quite happily as my internet proxy, so
I guess that the HTTPIO object works. 

Now the question is, what are you actually doing. Then we can probably
figure out what's wrong. Now, _why's code doesn't make an actual IO
object - just one that looks sufficiently like an IO object for the
Webrick to be convinced to use the read method - he's got a specific
use-case, and crammed the object to work in that situation. It probably
wont work in yours without further tweaking.
