My llhttprequest works fine, however I need to read an entire page rather than just 2048 bytes. How can I do that? Is it possible to request blocks of 2048 or possibly fewer bytes and read the entire page? Thanks in advance.

You'll have to modify the web site to deliver the information in chunks.

If it isn't your website, you'll have to clarify what you're trying to do. In most cases you probably shouldn't be using llHTTPRequest in that setting.

I am actually trying to read some text from gutenberg.org. What I could do is to write an external script and then ask it to send me the information in chunks. Nevertheless, I am wondering if there is a way to do it in LSL.

That is really your only option... You have to read the external site and then chunk it on your webserver and read it in bits.
