RE: getting html to buffer?

I can't think of a way offhand, due to how threading works in C. The
thread could do all of its own allocation, processing, and I/O without
passing the data back to the caller, but that doesn't scale very well.
With arrays though you'll have to play with mutex's or signals to detect
when a certain task has been completed. It probably depends on the
specific application.

C++ is a little cleaner conceptually, but you still end up with an array or
list of classes in the end.

How else would libcurl support it so that it would be easier?
