HTTP Service V2.0.0 is now available.    The HTTP service provides the 
ability to quickly and easily make HTTP requests.  These requests can now

manipulate cookies, login to secure http sites, and interact with form and 
link html elements that are returned from requests.  Version 2.0.0 of the 
HTTP service includes the following new features:

  + Added session support
