Thanks, this appears to include an HTTP client, which is a start, but
I was looking for something that actually parses the HTML on the
retrieved page like LWP does.  I wonder if there's some way to do that
with the XML libraries (though HTML is generally not well-formed
XML--for example it usually has unterminated <P> tags).  Any
thoughts?
