# HTTP client class
#
# See the following document for a tentative protocol description:
#     Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)        Tim Berners-Lee, CERN
#     Internet Draft                                       5 Nov 1993
#     draft-ietf-iiir-http-00.txt                  Expires 5 May 1994
#
# Example:
#
# >>> from httplib import HTTP
# >>> h = HTTP('www.cwi.nl')
# >>> h.putreqest('GET', '/index.html')
# >>> h.putheader('Accept', 'text/html')
# >>> h.putheader('Accept', 'text/plain')
# >>> h.endheaders()
# >>> errcode, errmsg, headers = h.getreply()
# >>> if errcode == 200:
# ...     f = h.getfile()
# ...     print f.read() # Print the raw HTML
# ...
# <TITLE>Home Page of CWI, Amsterdam</TITLE>
# [...many more lines...]

#
# Note that an HTTP object is used for a single request -- to issue a
# second request to the same server, you create a new HTTP object.
# (This is in accordance with the protocol, which uses a new TCP
# connection for each request.)
