[Denemo-devel] Getting gio working for Denemo

[Richard Shann]

I've been trying to get installation of Denemo commands directly from
denemo.org.
As a first step I included the following code in Denemo:

  GError *err = NULL;
  GFile * file=g_file_new_for_uri
("http://www.rshann.plus.com/denemo.html";);
  GFileInputStream *stream =  g_file_read(file, NULL, &err);
  if (err != NULL)
    {
      g_warning ("The opening of uri gave %s", err->message);
      if(err) g_error_free (err);
      err = NULL;
    } else {
#define COUNT (10000)
      gchar *buffer = g_malloc0(COUNT);
      gsize numbytes;
      gboolean success = g_input_stream_read_all(stream, buffer,
                                                 COUNT,
                                                 &numbytes,NULL,NULL);
      g_print("Read ***********\n%s\n*********** end of read", buffer);
      
    }

This works for files on the local disk (i.e. "file:///home...." ) but
gives

Operation not supported

for the page on the internet. Under the documentation is just the
statement that it means it is not supported by the backend. But whether
this is the case for Debian Lenny I don't know. Can someone try the code
on their distro (you need to include gio/gio.h and link with -lgio-2.0),
in case it is just Lenny being behind the times.
