ibrowse is a HTTP client. The following are a list of features.
	- RFC2616 compliant (AFAIK) 
	- supports GET, POST, OPTIONS and HEAD only
	- Understands HTTP/0.9, HTTP/1.0 and HTTP/1.1
	- Understands chunked encoding
	- Named pools of connections to each webserver
	- Pipelining support
	- Download to file
	- Asynchronous requests. Responses are streamed to a process
	- Basic authentication
	- Supports proxy authentication
	- Can talk to Secure webservers using SSL
	- any other features in the code not listed here :)

Comments to : Cha...@t-...

Here are some usage examples. Enjoy!

As this\n\t      timeout only affects a single request it has been set to\n\t      infinity (if the main server process dies the request\n\t      handling process will also die and the client will receive an\n\t      error). This might make a client that does not use a timeout\n\t      hang for a longer period of time, but that is an expected\n\t      behavior!\n\n    OTP-5516  That a third party closes the http servers accept socket is\n\t      recoverable for inets, hence intes will only produce an info\n\t      report as there was no error in inets but measures where\n\t      taken to avoid failure due to errors elsewhere.\n\n    OTP-5517  The HTTP client proxy settings where ignored. Bug introduced\n\t      in inets-4.3.\n\n    OTP-5521  Inets only sent the \"WWW-Authenticate\" header at the first\n\t      attempt to get a page, if the user supplied the wrong\n\t      user/password combination the header was not sent again. This\n\t      forces the user to kill the browser entirely after a failed\n\t      login attempt, before the user may try to login again. Inets\n\t      now always send the authentication header.\n\n    OTP-5537  A major rewrite of big parts of the HTTP server code was\n\t      performed. There where many things that did not work\n\t      satisfactory. Cgi script handling can never have worked\n\t      properly and the cases when it did sort of work, a big\n\t      unnecessary delay was enforced. Headers where not always\n\t      treated as expected and HTTP version handling did not work,\n\t      all responses where sent as version HTTP/1.1 no matter what.\n\n\n"}
