reading URLs

[Seth Teller <seth@graphics.lcs.mit.edu>]

andreas,

can you please check this in (using cvs add, etc.) to
the repository as a stand-alone java program, perhaps
under ..../utils ?  then reply to this message with 
the location of the code.

i would like to make it available to the city group
as a whole; we have an immediate use for it.  in
particular, we can distribute a modified form of it
to make it easy for other researchers to download 
our image and calibration data.

thanks,

prof. t.

I have tested it with the floorplans from MIT.
You can go to my dir and go to the dir: tools
To run type
> java ReadURL

The program reads information from ReadURL.properties, which tells the
program the server address and each additional line is the file to be
read
from that server.

I also spent some time to find a solution for this in C/C++ but it is
much
more complicated and this solution actually works pretty fast and can
easily be incorporated in the rest of our project.

Have a nice weekend!
