This will send a request to the server using the HTTP request method
\var{method} and the selector \var{url}. If the \var{body} argument is
present, it should be a string of data to send after the headers are finished.
+Alternatively, it may be an open file object, in which case the
+contents of the file is sent; this file object should support
+\code{fileno()} and \code{read()} methods.
The header Content-Length is automatically set to the correct value.
The \var{headers} argument should be a mapping of extra HTTP headers to send
with the request.
