Hi all,

http-access/2.0.9 is out.  It's purely a bugfix version that fixes 1
regression problem about BasicAuth.  Sorry for frequent releases.

'http-access2' gives something like the functionality of libwww-perl
(LWP) in Ruby.

Features;

 * methods like GET/HEAD/POST via HTTP/1.1.
 * asynchronous HTTP request
 * HTTPS(SSL)

 * by contrast with net/http in standard distribution;
   o Cookies support
   o MT-safe
   o streaming POST
   o DigestAuth
   o extensible with filter interface
   o you don't have to care HTTP/1.1 persistent connection (http-access2
     cares instead of you).

 * Not supported now
   o Cache
   o Rather advanced HTTP/1.1 usage such as Range, deflate, etc.
     (of course you can set it in header by yourself)

changes:
  fix the BasicAuth? regression problem in 2.0.8.  A server may return
  "BASIC" as an authenticate scheme label instead of "Basic".  It must
  be treated as a case-insensitive token according to RFC2617 section
  1.2.  Thanks to mwedeme for contributing the patch.
