The ugly details are found in HttpSocket's class side method;
httpGetDocument: url args: args accept: mimeType request: requestString
Its a little ugly - an HttpRequest class should bundle up a lot of
that complexity in a nice data structure that represents the
structure of a request.
But there it is.
