module EventMachine

  # EventMachine based HTTP request class with support for streaming consumption
  # of the response. Response is parsed with a Ragel-generated whitelist parser
  # which supports chunked HTTP encoding.
  #
  # == Example
  #
  #
  #  EventMachine.run {
  #    http = EventMachine::HttpRequest.new('http://127.0.0.1/').get :query => {'keyname' => 'value'}
  #
  #    http.callback {
  #     p http.response_header.status
  #     p http.response_header
  #     p http.response
  #
  #	EventMachine.stop
  #    }
  #  }
  #

    end

    # Send an HTTP request and consume the response. Supported options:
    #
    #   head: {Key: Value}
    #     Specify an HTTP header, e.g. {'Connection': 'close'}
    #
    #   query: {Key: Value}
    #     Specify query string parameters (auto-escaped)
    #
    #   body: String
    #     Specify the request body (you must encode it for now)
    #
