HTTP Client: Supports GET, HEAD, POST, PUT, and DELETE

After a long time coming, the C++ Network Library now supports the standard HTTP commands that modern clients need. In the branch http_integration, I've been able to implement a synchronous HTTP Client implementation that supports the major HTTP commands.

What's left to be done is to write more unit tests and actually use it in real-life applications. Fast approaching is an asynchronous client implementation, and eventually a 1.0 alpha.

We need help in the following areas:

- Testing
- Debugging
- Documentation

If you want to be part of the project, please don't hesitate to join us in the C++ Network Library Developers mailing list.

HTTP 1.0 Implementation now in trunk!

Okay, this will be quick.

Yesterday I was able to come up with a really crude yet functional HTTP 1.0 client. This is already available in the subversion repository, and ready for more unit tests to make sure that we can cover more cases before shipping. Help would be definitely appreciated in terms of writing unit tests and refactoring/improving the URI parser and the client implementation.

More information to come in the next few days as I continue developing the HTTP implementation.

So if you have time to spare and brain cycles to donate, we'd definitely appreciate the help!
