Log:
httpclient gives something like the functionality of libwww-perl (LWP) in Ruby. httpclient formerly known as http-access2.
Features:
* methods like GET/HEAD/POST/* via HTTP/1.1.
* HTTPS(SSL), Cookies, proxy, authentication(Digest, NTLM, Basic), etc.
* asynchronous HTTP request, streaming HTTP request.
* by contrast with net/http in standard distribution;
o Cookies support
o MT-safe
o streaming POST (POST with File/IO)
o Digest auth
o Negotiate/NTLM auth for WWW-Authenticate (requires net/htlm module)
o NTLM auth for Proxy-Authenticate (requires win32/sspi module)
o extensible with filter interface
o you dont have to care HTTP/1.1 persistent connection (httpclient cares instead of you)
* Not supported now
o Cache
o Rather advanced HTTP/1.1 usage such as Range, deflate, etc. (of course you can set it in header by yourself)
