You are raising an exception, this is, for me, different than sending
message to stdout

okay, i grant you that was not the intention of raise when designed. but a rose by any other name…

so what other means are there? should a raise_message be added? or maybe you are right. maybe my library is “badly designed”, but if so then tell me what would the alternative be that achieves such seperation?

class Downloader
attr_accessor :state_reporter

def dowload(url)
read_bytes = 0

#  open conn

while( chunk = io.read( 1024 ) )
  read_bytes += chunk.length
  # write bytes to file
  self.state_reporter && self.state_reporter.call(url, read_bytes)
end

end
end

d = Downloader.new
d.state_reporter = proc {|url, bytes| puts “read #{bytes} from #{url}”

d.download ‘http://foo/bar’

You get the picture…
