HTTPClient

This class wraps an URLConnection object with HTTP-specific methods, providing a light-weight HTTP client.

Example of its use to read the content of an URL:

HTTPClient client = new HTTPClient();
client.setUserAgent("My client/1.0");
URLConnection ucon = client.openConnection(url);
InputStream is = ucon.getInputStream();
String retcode = client.returnCode(ucon);

HTTP Form example:

HTTPClient client = new HTTPClient();
client.setUserAgent("My client/1.0");
HTTPForm form = client.createForm();
form.setParameter("name", "John");
form.addParameter("favorite_colors", "blue");
form.addParameter("favorite_colors", "yellow");
URLConnection ucon = form.post(url);
InputStream is = ucon.getInputStream();
