Hello again,

We doing quite a lot of development at my site.
I have currently my own ethernet/serial/gpib libraries, but I am
contemplating moving away from them and go with asyn.
(Each time I have feasibility question on drivers with asyn, I always
received the same reply: asyn can do it! ;-)

I have a device which has a web server and a simple web page.
My record should fetch the web page and extract the value between the
<epics> and </epics> tags. Can asyn do that? ( it probably can ;)

Better yet, I looked at the streamDriver which is also said to work on
TCP/IP. Can stream records do that?
One could argue that the TCP/IP connection is not permanent (i.e the
server kicks you out if the client is idle, but asyn should
auto-reconnect right?)

Also is stream the new devGpib ?
