  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)
