Process.spawn/poll/kill/free - non-blocking child processes with no shell: posix_spawn on macOS (process.ll), CreateProcessW with MSVC-quoted arguments and no console window on Windows (process_win.ll), linked only when a program uses Process.*. Http.save_to streams a response body into a file (NSURLSession with a run-time delegate class on macOS, the WinHTTP read loop on Windows); Http.received / Http.expected report progress while it is pending. Freeing a pending request cancels it and parks the slot until the worker has finished. App.window_hide / App.window_show take the game's window off the screen and back without closing it; the run goes on while hidden. Docs, examples, tests and a changeset.

Returns the length of the response body as the server announced it (<code>Content-Length</code>), or <code>-1</code> while that is not known. For a request given <a href="http-save_to.html"><code>Http.save_to</code></a> it is known as soon as the headers arrive, and stays <code>-1</code> for a reply sent without a length (chunked) — draw an indeterminate bar then. For an ordinary in-memory request it is <code>-1</code> until the reply lands, then the body length.
