[Io] Re: Web Clients (was Re: Monticello authentication methods?)

[Colin Curtin]

IIRC, I have facades for every part of HTTPSocket (#httpGet, etc).
They just have to use "HCFacade" instead. In fact, that's part of the
key to understanding my package - look at how I implemented the
HTTPSocket stuff, then realize that life doesn't have to be so hard.

If HTTPSocket has been upgraded since late 2003, then maybe I don't
have everything.

:D
