Any examples of using request.el?

Any examples of using request.el?

[Marcin Borkowski]

Hi all,

I've written a small package using the request.el library.  However,
since I know next to nothing about the web's inner workings, I didn't
really know how to use it well.  In particular I mean error handling.
Are there any packages using request.el out there so that I could study
their code?

I'm especially interested in /synchronous/ calls (I neither need nor
want asynchronous ones in my library), but anything will do.

TIA,

I'm not a elisp coder, just an apprentice, but I was able to build an emacs front-end for my python web-based news reader using request.el in a few days - it was quite easy -, so I guess it could be an useful look.

There isn't an official release with this feature yet, but you can see the code at:

Hope it helps,
