URLs automatically rewritten from /search?dist=Foo or /dist/Foo
to /dist/Foo/ (note trailing slash).  After a 2002(!) reorganization,
this is the preferred way to refer to modules on search.cpan.org.

This is a fairly low level interface to the Gnome project's libghttp,
which allows you to process HTTP requests to HTTP servers. There also
exists a slightly higher level interface - a simple get() function which
takes a URI as a parameter.
It allows you to make very simple HTTP requests, without the weight of
something like LWP. This makes it very useful in situations where
memory and speed are at a premium, such as mod_perl.
It has full support for proxy requests and authenticated requests.
