Some questions on HTTP API

Hey,

im messing around with the http api and wondering what http.get() delivers. Meaning the type, and how i can access it.

I tested it with this code i found.
url = "http://www.myside.de/myscript.php"
file = http.get( url )
a = file:readLine()
file:close()

When i print a it returns the echo of my script and a 1 in the next line. My question is what type of data http.get() returns and how i can access it? I need just the echo of my script to be saved, not this 1.[/left]

Here's a working example script: http://www.computercraft.info/forums2/index.php?/topic/82-13-httptest/

if your using the lua interp inside of CC ("typing lua") and running your commands there.

The 1 you see is the amount of lines that a print statement takes up on the screen.

If you typed that code into a program and did print(a) inside the program you shouldn't see the 1 :unsure:/>/>
