Well, either way :-) I've added a 'WebClient-Pharo' package with a bunch 
of patches that will make WebClient work under Pharo 1.0 but I noticed 
that one bug affecting SocketStream may indicate that some other bugs in 
SocketStream are not fixed either. Unfortunately WebClient and WebServer 
rely heavily on correct functioning of SocketStream and my test coverage 
is not 100% so there may be undetected issues. If you find any, let me 
know and I'll issue another patch (and increase test coverage along the 
way :-)

You're very welcome.
