BOLT - Question

[Bert Mariani]

Hello  Youssef Saeed 

I downloaded BOLT again on Ring 1.27 

    --- Libraries disappear when downloaded new versions of Ring

The samples don't seem to do anything.

Only one line of output on the CMD window for the basic samples I tried

    ---  [bolt] Server running on http://0.0.0.0:3000

Is their something that I am not doing right ?

======================================

C:\Users\bert_>ringpm install bolt from ysdragon
Installing bolt (master) ---> bolt (1.0.0)
Download Package Files For bolt
Download File : lib.ring
Download File : main.ring
Download File : package.rin

Hello Bert,

Thank you for trying out Bolt.

To test the samples, you need to access http://localhost:3000 (or http://127.0.0.1:3000) using a browser, Postman, or Chapar.

Best regards,

Hello Youssef, Mahmoud

For fetching historical quotes from Yahoo Finance ..

 Bolt (the ysdragon/bolt framework) is a server-side framework for building HTTP APIs in Ring.

 It doesn't expose outbound "curl" client functions. 

The library that actually does outbound HTTP fetches is RingLibCurl (libcurl.ring), 

Which is Ring's standard curl binding.

Hello Bert,

Yes, Bolt and cURL serve different purposes.

Best regards,
Youssef
