Adrian,  thanks very much for your support... I appreciate it. 
Unfortunately I am unable to grasp how Ragel works. I added the eof 
variable definition and created a very simple machine:

main := ("http") $eof{ printf("reached eof\n"); };

If I understand correctly I should see "reached eof" printed on console 
as soon as the parser finishes testing for the last "p" of "http". 
Running this under a debugger (gdb) I can see the eof condition is never 
tested and I get no output in console. And of course the url parser I am 
trying to implement also never reaches eof.

Am I misunderstanding how ragel is supposed to work??

thanks
Horacio
