I guess that makes me a bad coder (or at least not a good one) because I
looked at socket.lua and socket/http.lua for more than 15 minutes and
could not figure it out.  I guess I could write a primitive HTTP 1.1
client in that time, but not with all the nice error handling etc. that
socket/http.lua comes with.  If you find your code, I'd be grateful if
you could share it.
