Re: [PATCH] read-response-body should return received data when error occcurs (V2)

[Nala Ginrut]

Well, to clarify, I confess I did a wrong prejudging. I thought read-response-body is the only API to retrieve the body/data, so we should use it anyway to get the data rather than writing other procedure to handle it. Because the manual has only one API relate to this topic.
But I was *wrong*. This read-response-body is just a simple procedure to get few body/data under easy circumstance. It is defined so. Anyone who needs a more complicated operation must write his own procedure with bytevector handlers or write a new http lib. So it's no need to change it's behavior with any patch.

No.  I guess you are still reading the rest of the thread ;-)
