http barf

HTTP barf is a dead simple library to make http requests. It provides helper functions to use different http methods, it supports both insecure and secure connections without having to deal with managers and the requests can be trivially modified using a monoidal combinator library.

You may use it if you just have to vomit out a quick script and don't want to deal with all the complexities of involving a library that provides more features or more safety guarantees.
