Hi, What will be the best way to download a large file over tcp using php-uv? Thanks. Best Regards, Jim

what is the purpose for this? maybe combination of uv_read_start and uv_fs_open i think.

Basically, decreasing function calls is the best way to improve PHP performance. so I should provide some functions which likes file_get_contents.

I didn't try to download a large file with php-uv yet. so it may contains some bugs regarding buffers.

One use case is to download files in parallel and keep track of their progress. Yeah, so an async version of file_get_contents will be great.
