Subject: Re: Reading an HTTPResponse line by line

Ok, but that's what I did in the first place, but it doesn't allow 
reading line by line... that is, it looks to me that you can

1) reading as chunks come in

OR

2) reading line by line

but you can't

"reading lines as they come in..."

(that is, 1) AND 2) as it would be the case with 
"BufferedReader.readLine()" in Java).

In other words what I wanted is (pseudo-code):

response_handler = get_response_handler
while( line = response_handler.getLine())
{
	doSomethingWith(line)
}

without having to wait for the whole response to be read before starting 
parsing...
