== Announcing Curl::Multi version 0.1 ==

This is the first release of Curl::Multi, supporting just the basics.  
This release uses RubyInline to help with the C interface.

== What is Curl::Multi? ==

Curl::Multi provides very high-level Ruby bindings for the libcurl multi  
interface.

It was originally written for use by [www.causesonfacebook.com](http://www.causesonfacebook.com) to process  
many concurrent http requests. Curl::Multi is written and maintanied by  
Kristján Pétursson and Keith R…

See [http://curl-multi.rubyforge.org/](http://curl-multi.rubyforge.org/) for more info.

== The basics ==

require ‘curl-multi’  
curl = Curl::Multi.new  
on\_success = lambda do |body|  
puts body  
end  
on\_failure = lambda do |ex|  
puts ‘Failure.’  
puts ex  
end  
curl.get(‘[http://www.example.org/](http://www.example.org/)’, on\_success, on\_failure)  
curl.select([], []) while curl.size \> 0

There’s not much more to the interface. A good thing, too, because we  
don’t really have any documentation yet. Patches are most welcome!
