+This package contains an HTTP/1.1 client, as described in RFC 2616. +It supports the following features: +
+The API is similar to the neon
+WebDAV/HTTP library. A logical connection to the server is instantiated,
+and multiple requests can be issued for this connection. Each request
+has an atomic dispatch method which returns the response.
+All I/O, authentication, etc is handled by registering callback objects
+with the request prior to dispatch, which are notified during the dispatch
+procedure as necessary. Simple byte-array content callbacks are supplied
+which can manage any request/response content that fits in available memory.
+
+An URL stream handler is provided, supporting the full HttpURLConnection +specification. +
