2006-03-04Point MAINTAINER to pkgsrc-users@NetBSD.org in the case where nojlam1-2/+2
developer is officially maintaining the package. The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't developers.

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.
