Maybe it's four? My short rundown:
* HTTPSocket (which comes with Squeak) has *tons* of code duplication,
and really only does things with a limited subset of HTTP/1.0.
* HTTPClient (which took my namespace ;-) is a port of the Dolphin
HTTPClient by
Steve Waring, being done by Brent Vukmer. As said in the SqueakMap
release - "[...]The Squeak port is usable, but still needs a lot of
cleanup work."
* HTTPClient (also comes with Squeak) seems to be using some
extensions in the Standard/FileStream classes with primitives.
I suppose, then, that's where I come in. All I want is a package
that's close in
functionality to Jakarta Commons' HTTPClient; essentially, that I need
something to interface to websites simply, elegantly, and well.
