[H-GEN] Micropython help

[Stephen Thorne]

Looking at
https://github.com/micropython/micropython-lib/blob/master/urequests/urequests.py
it
looks like you have to use the API in a weird way:

r = urequests.get(url)

BLOCK_SIZE = 8192 # tune as appropriate
output = open('outputfile', 'w')
while True:
  block = r.raw.read(BLOCK_SIZE)
  if block == '':  # empty read means the end.
    break
  output.write(block)
output.close()
r.close()

That while loop exists in python core, it's called
shutil.copyfileobj(r.raw, output)
