//! This example demonstrates probably the most complicated part of
//! `minreq`. Useful when making loading bars, for example.
use std::io::{BufReader, Read};

fn main() -> Result<(), minreq::Error> {
    for byte in BufReader::new(minreq::get("http://example.com").send_lazy()?).bytes() {
        // The connection could have a problem at any point during the
        // download, so each byte needs to be unwrapped.
        let byte = byte?;

        // The `byte` is the current u8 of data we're iterating
        // through.
        print!("{}", byte as char);

        // Flush the printed text so each char appears on your
        // terminal right away.
        flush();

        // Wait for 50ms so the data doesn't appear instantly fast
        // internet connections, to demonstrate that the body is being
        // printed char-by-char.
        sleep();
    }
    Ok(())
