An HTTP 1.1 user agent for the programming web.

Pendrell: A Twisted HTTP/1.1 User Agent for the Programmatic 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 accomdates incremental decoding of chunked streams.
* Asynchronous (twisted) API.
* Integration with cookielib, and compatibility with urllib2.Request API.
* Proxy Support.
