strage behavior of the httpclient

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I want to use v8cgi with couchdb, for this, i tryed a bit around and found
out that the http-lib behaves odd. To demonstrate what i mean i use this
snippet:

var client = new
HTTP.ClientRequest("http://localhost:5984/todo/_view/todo/textHTTP/1.1");
var response = client.send(true);

System.stdout(response.data);

The output is:

and it is using ff as httpclient. WFT i thought. Why?
Thanks for advice.

Okay, this certainly is a bug. Can you please somehow (in a static version?) 
make the
data you are fetching available via a public URL, so I can use it for testing?

It looks like those strange numbers are content lengths of individual http 
response
packets. Will look into it.

More explanation: this is certainly a "chunked" transfer encoding, something not
(yet) supported by v8cgi. Will be implemented

Please try again with latest SVN revision (492). I believe I fixed this, but 
some
testing might be necessary.

hi,
thanks for such a fast reaction. After chaning the http.js file to

.
.
.
    var received = "";
    do {
        var part = s.receive(1024, true);
        for (var i=0;i<part.length;i++) {
            //received += String.fromCharCode(part[i]);
            received += part[i];
        }
    } while (part.length > 0);
    s.close();
    received = Util.utf8encode(received);

    return this._handleResponse(received, follow);
.
.
.

Everything works fine for me!
Cheers!

Uhm, I don't understand why you made that change to http.js. I strongly believe 
that
my version (with String.fromCharCode) is supposed to work with current SVN 
revision,
as opposed to your fix.
Have you recompiled v8cgi? This is necessary, I made an important addition to
Socket::receive method...

sry for answering this late.

To be honest I have no idea why. But this is the only way it's works for me and 
it
works fine. I use it to communicate with CouchDB for and longer time with the 
results
I expect.

It would be really cool if someone could provide a tutorial about how to use 
couchDB
with v8cgi.
