Just something to complete this insanity:
sub steal_a_file_from_our_isp_that_charges_for_downstream_net_bytes_on
+ly {
my ($some_kind_of_uri) = @_;
my @buffer;
my $location = 0;
while ( 'true' ) {
my $done = 0;
for my $val (0..255) {
#-- 0..255: use a list with values sorted by highest probability
# first for an incredible speed boost
my $resp = query_server_if_byte_at_location_has_value($some_kin
+d_of_uri, $location++, $val);
next if $resp eq 'timeout';
return @buffer if $resp eq 'eof';
push @buffer, $val;
$done=1;
last;
}
$location-- unless $done; # 256 timeouts, so the response was lost
+ and we need to retry
}
}

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
