are libogc network functions names derived from an OS

Basically, instead of using Bushings http lib for my web browser i found libcurl which seems promising, all i need to do is just redo the core functions so that they match the libogc network functions.

I took a look at the libcurl source and found that its designed to be compile on most systems and i was wondering if the libogc network functions names such as "net_read" or "net_write" were derived from linux or some other system

*LOL the libcurl code is supposed to be portable yet porting it to wii would be hell*
I just cannot find any solution to chunk encoding!

Yes, libogc network functions are based on BSD sockets.

so if i tricked libcurl into thinking it was being compiled for BSD than would that work?

why isnt the gnu sockets header not used for devkitppc

sys/sockets.h is missing?

sys/sockets.h is too POSIX like to be ported. A lot of users are using MinGW, it's just a mather of compatibility.

hmmm.... so portnig libcurl is pointless although it can be done for DS (devkitarm has sys/sockets.h), and either the network functions for the wii dont like chunk encoding or i have done something wrong.

what really bugs me is that when i try to read a chunk encoded file, it reads the first size but then as soon as it reads the first piece of data it crashes
