[erlang-questions] getting the path of an http request as binary

[Pablo Platt]

Digging further I found that mochiweb_http:loop/2 set
inet:setopts(Socket, [{packet, http}])

So I guess replacing it should work:
inet:setopts(Socket, [{packet, http_bin}])

There are probably places where mochiweb expects lists and not binaries but it'll be easy to fix

In mochiweb_socket_server/init the BaseOpts have {packet, 0}
Which according to the inet docs means that "no packaging is done".

What will replacing {packet, 0} with {packet, http_bin}do?
I probably can't expect it to just work.
