The method returns one value for each pattern, followed by a single
error code that can be <b><tt>nil</tt></b> in case of success, the string
'<tt>closed</tt>' in case the connection was closed before the
transmission was completed or the string '<tt>timeout</tt>' in case
there was a timeout during the operation.
If successful, the method returns the received pattern. In case of error,
the method returns <tt><b>nil</b></tt> followed by an error message which
can be the string '<tt>closed</tt>' in case the connection was
closed before the transmission was completed or the string
'<tt>timeout</tt>' in case there was a timeout during the operation.
Also, after the error message, the function returns the partial result of
the transmission.

<p class=note>
Note: In case of error, the method always return everything it managed
to download before the error condition was met.
<b>Important note</b>: This function was changed <em>severely</em>. It used
to support multiple patterns (but I have never seen this feature used) and
partial results used to be returned in the same way as successful results.
This last feature violated the idea that all functions should return
<tt><b>nil</b></tt> on error. Thus the change.
