developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.

This is a fairly low level interface to the Gnome project's libghttp,
which allows you to process HTTP requests to HTTP servers. There also
exists a slightly higher level interface - a simple get() function which
takes a URI as a parameter.
It allows you to make very simple HTTP requests, without the weight of
something like LWP. This makes it very useful in situations where
memory and speed are at a premium, such as mod_perl.
It has full support for proxy requests and authenticated requests.
