  Well if you want to use the push mode you obviously want to
control the flow of data, right ? Which mean you want to keep
to control of what comes from a connection resulting of an URI.
Basically your program loop open the URI (check nanoftp and
nanohttp modules if needed) and then use low level promitive to
read the data block by block when available, and push it to the
parser. The only different is that instead of reading from a file
you read from a network pipe.
  If you create an xmlParserInput with the URL you loose the
the control because the parser will keep the reading/parsing
loop internally.

 makes sense ?
