It's nothing to worry about.

That code could do with a cleaner rewrite, you know.  One vast simplification, I think,
would be to have a HTTPRequest object that is built up, and then to put the getDocument:
commands on the request object.  Particularly bad right now is the parallel code for
GET and POST requests.  bleck.

It wouldn't be bad to turn failures into exceptions, too, instead of returning raw strings.
