+ : <p>
+ : This module provides an implementation of the
+ : <a href="http://expath.org/modules/http-client/";>EXPath HTTP Client</a>.
+ : It provides functions for making HTTP requests and implements the 
+ : <code>http:send-request()</code> functions as specified by EXPath.
+ : </p>
+ :
+ : <p>
+ : In general, the <code>http:send-request()</code> functions take a description 
+ : of the HTTP request to make as parameter, execute the request, and return a 
+ : representation of the HTTP response. For instance, in the following code 
+ : snippet, we fetch a blog feed:
+ : </p>
+ : <pre>
+ : import module namespace http = "http://expath.org/ns/http-client";;
+ : 
+ : http:send-request(
+ :  <http:request href="http://www.zorba-xquery.com/blog/feed"; method="get" />
+ : )
+ : </pre>
+ : 
+ : <p>
+ : The <code>http:send-request()</code> functions are declared as sequential. 
+ : Sequential functions are allowed to have side effects. For example, most probably,
+ : an HTTP POST request is a request that has side effects because it adds/changes
+ : a remote resource. Sequential functions are specified in the
+ : <a href="http://www.zorba-xquery.com/html/documentation/latest/zorba/scripting_tutorial";>XQuery Scripting Extension</a>.
+ : </p>
+ :
+ : <p>
+ : The response is returned as a sequence of one or more items. The first
+ : one is an <code>http:response</code> element with quite the same
+ : structure as an http:request, but without the content itself.
+ : The content is returned as the second item (or several items in case of
+ : a multipart response) as a string, a document node, or a binary item.
+ : This depends on the content-type specified in the HTTP response.
+ : Specifically, the rules are as follows:
+ : 
+ : <ul>
+ :  <li>A document node is returned if the media type has a MIME type of
+ :     text/xml, application/xml, text/xml-external-parsed-entity, or
+ :     application/xml-external-parsed-entity, as defined in [RFC 3023]
+ :     (except that application/xml-dtd is considered a text media type).
+ :     MIME types ending by +xml are also XML media types.</li>
+ :  <li>A document node is returned if the media type has a MIME type of
+ :      text/html. In order to be able to make HTML parseable, tidy is automatically
+ :      invoked. If you want to prevent that, you can also set your own content-type
+ :      by setting the override-media-type attribute in the request element.
+ :       For tidying, the following <a href="http://tidy.sourceforge.net/docs/quickref.html";>options</a>
+ :       will be used:
+ :       <ul>
+ :         <li>TidyXmlOut=yes</li>
+ :         <li>TidyDoctypeMode=TidyDoctypeOmit</li>
+ :         <li>TidyQuoteNbsp=yes</li>
+ :         <li>TidyCharEncoding="utf8"</li>
+ :         <li>TidyNewline="LF"</li>
+ :       </ul>
+ :  </li>
+ :  <li>An xs:string item is returned if the media type has a text MIME type,
+ :     i.e. beginning with text/.</li>
+ :  <li>An xs:base64Binary item is returned for all the other media types.</li>
+ : </ul>
+ : </p>
+ :
+ :
+ : <p>
+ : The structure of a request element is defined in the schema that is imported
+ : by this module. The details are described in the
+ : <a href="http://expath.org/spec/http-client#d2e183";>specification</a>.
+ : Analogously, the response element is also described in this
+ : <a href="http://expath.org/spec/http-client#d2e491";>specification</a>.
