2005-10-16Import p5-HTTP-GHTTP from pkgsrc-wip. Packaged by xtraeme@ andminskim1-0/+10
improved by hiramatsu@. This is a fairly low level interface to the Gnome project's libghttp, which allows you to process HTTP requests to HTTP servers. There also exists a slightly higher level interface - a simple get() function which takes a URI as a parameter. It allows you to make very simple HTTP requests, without the weight of something like LWP. This makes it very useful in situations where memory and speed are at a premium, such as mod_perl. It has full support for proxy requests and authenticated requests.
