Not so hard in smalltalk actually and you can do some powerful stuff
like stephane and Benjamin showed you... it should be feaseable for
instance to query google and parse the resulting stream without using
any webservices stuffs...

The main difficulty is to find the right class and the right
parameters ;) ...  and for that navigating in the code is essential..
it took me one year to get used to it (at leat but I'm not really fast
;) )

really look at the class side of HttpClient ;)
