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

[Colin Curtin]

Proxies, I'd have to check. What does 'work with proxies' mean? Socks proxies?

Cookies, chunked encoding and basic/digest authentication works.
Here's a bigger list:

HTTPClient supports:
- Persistent connections
- Automatic redirection handling
- Access to Output/Input streams
- Cookies
- Authentication
- - Basic
- - Digest
- Common HTTP methods
- - GET
- - POST
- - PUT
- - Multipart POST
