Metalink/HTTP Header Response Viewer

I guess its been a little while since I’ve blogged about the Google Summer of Code project I’ve been doing. Yes, I admit it, I am a super lazy when I comes to talking about my work. Okay, now moving on from my laziness to blog to the project’s current status, things have been going quite well with the project now. If I remember correctly, the last time I blogged, I had a few early bumps in the road. Back then, I was a lost soul trying to figure out the best possible way to get the information in an HTTP header response using KIO. However, after days of discussion and research, all that I came up with was a similar implementation based in Qtlibs (rather than KIO). The complete source code for that particular implementation is available here, feel free to fork it and try something cool 🙂

And though it was one of those quick and dirty hacks, his however was not at all satisfactory from the project’s point of view. So, there I was on week one of Google Summer of Code, pretty much clueless about how on earth was I going to implement the feature.
