From RAA:
------------
Description:  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
* by contrast with net/http in standard distribution;
* you don't have to care HTTP/1.1 persistent connection (http-access2 cares
instead of you).
* MT-safe
* streaming POST

> Could soap4r be rewritten to use net/http?

Sorry I don't know the answer to that one.
