Pendrell:  Twisted HTTP/1.1 User Agent for the Programmable Web

---------------------------------------------------------------

Pendrell augments the twisted.web framework with an HTTP 1client that has

several advantages over prior art (or at least urllib2 and twisted.web.client):

  * HTTP 1.1 support:

    - TE/transfer-encoding support for chunked, gzip, and deflate encodings

    - Ability to simultaneously maintain multiple persistent connections.

  * Transparent gzip and deflate Content-encoding support.

  * Ability to stream data, by performing call-backs with data chunks,

    alleviates the need to buffer large files.

    - Advanced gzip support accommodates incremental decoding of chunked streams.

  * Asynchronous (twisted) API.

  * Integration with cookielib, and compatibility with urllib2.Request API.

  * Proxy Support.
