I have this little program where I want to fetch web thingys
concurrently. There's a problem with the combination of HTTP​::UserAgent
and Promises although I don't know which one doesn't work​:

  #!perl6

  use HTTP​::UserAgent;
  my $ua = HTTP​::UserAgent.new​: :useragent<chrome_linux>;

  my @​urls = <
  http://www.perl.org
  http://www.perl6.org
  http://www.yahoo.com
  >;

  loop {
  my @​promises;
  for @​urls -> $url {
  @​promises.push​: Promise
  .start({ $ua.get​: $url })
  .then({ put "Got {.result.^name}" });
  }
  await @​promises;
  }

Running this program sometimes works a little and often if fails in
diverse and curious ways. I couldn't get it to fail unless I used a
Promise​:

  $ perl6 cycle.p6
  Got HTTP​::Response
  Segmentation fault​: 11

  $ perl6 cycle.p6
  Got HTTP​::Response
  Illegal instruction​: 4

  $ perl6 cycle.p6
  Got HTTP​::Response
  An operation first awaited​:
  in block <unit> at cycle.p6 line 20

  Died with the exception​:

  in block at cycle.p6 line 18

Ah, there's even an HTTP​::UserAgent issue for this I think​:

Looks to me like one of the sites is redirecting to an https page and you
don't have IO​::Socket​::SSL installed.

There are also issues with libssl (which I think the IO​::Socket​::SSL module
calls using Native Call) and threads.

At the moment the only threads safe https client is the Cro one, I believe.

Sorry I can't be more help, 2am insomnia should really be sleeping.

The error message isn't useful because you get that no matter what
happens. It's really the IO​::Socket​::SSL is not thread safe.

But, I'd not expect a segfault.
