[PD] getting strings into messages for objects from web

[Martin Peach]

In mrpeach, [httpreq] and [httpreceive] will output the contents of web 
pages as single characters. From there there are several ways of parsing 
the data. I find pdlua better for string operations but you have to 
learn lua or wait for someone to write the objects.
It's possible to use moocow [bytes2any] and similar objects to parse 
limited amounts of text, the problem with huge amounts is that it all 
ends up as symbols in Pd's symbol table, which will eat memory and slow 
Pd down.
