Leorize 78b1442051 libbnetapi: BUrlRequest now outputs to BDataIO
Previously, BUrlRequest returns data received via a callback that can't
return any value. This approach have several issues:

- It's not possible to signify failures to the request.
- Users have to implement custom listeners just to handle the common
  case of outputting to a buffer/file/etc.
- The received data has to be serialized into BMessage when
  BUrlProtocolDispatchingListener is employed. This can cause a
  noticible slowdown in real-world scenarios as evident by #10748.

With this change, BUrlRequest will output directly into a BDataIO, which
exposes a richer API for request handlers to work with (for example a
BitTorrent client can request a BPositionIO for non-linear data
delivery), as well as simplifying common cases for users.

The adaptation only requires one additional API:
BHttpRequest::SetStopOnError(). This API simply instructs the HTTP
request handler to cancel the request if an HTTP error is occurred.

Haiku

Homepage | Mailing Lists | IRC Channels | Issue Tracker | API docs

Haiku is an open-source operating system that specifically targets personal computing. Inspired by the BeOS, Haiku is fast, simple to use, easy to learn and yet very powerful.

Goals

  • Sensible defaults with minimal configuration required.
  • Clean, clear, concise code.
  • Unified desktop environment.

Trying Haiku

Haiku provides pre-built nightly images and release images. Haiku is compatible with a large variety of hardware, but in case you don't want to "take the plunge" and install Haiku on bare metal, you can install it on a virtual machine (VM) instead. If you've never used a VM before, you can follow one of the "Emulating Haiku" guides.

Compiling Haiku

See ReadMe.Compiling.

Contributing

Haiku is a meritocratic open source project with a large variety of tasks. Even if you can't write code, you can still help! Haiku needs designers, (technical) writers, translators, testers... Get involved and help out!

Contributing code
