# http.tcl --
#
#	Client-side HTTP for GET, POST, and HEAD commands.
#	These routines can be used in untrusted code that uses 
#	the Safesock security policy.  These procedures use a 
#	callback interface to avoid using vwait, which is not 
#	defined in the safe base.
#
# See the file "license.terms" for information on usage and
# redistribution of this file, and for a DISCLAIMER OF ALL WARRANTIES.

# RCS: @(#) $Id: http.tcl,v 1.36 2001/08/09 01:06:42 dgp Exp $

# Rough version history:
# 1.0	Old http_get interface
# 2.0	http:: namespace and http::geturl
# 2.1	Added callbacks to handle arriving data, and timeouts
# 2.2	Added ability to fetch into a channel
# 2.3	Added SSL support, and ability to post from a channel
#	This version also cleans up error cases and eliminates the
#	"ioerror" status in favor of raising an error
