To me, that is not the point. It's more about showing off Ada as a viable option to produce high quality, modern software for serious means outside this community. The work you have done, whatever its accuracy, is more a pretext, a chance at booting/stacking up a project than an end in itself.

Then why don't you publish the code?

Qt handles Http requests.

That was the essence of my offer. Refactoring fast and properly is an art.

No problem. You are welcome.
