Example basic HTTP client
-------------------------

As a basic example, below is a very basic HTTP client that uses the
`dispatcher' class to implement its socket handling:

     class http_client(asyncore.dispatcher):
         def __init__(self, host,path):
             asyncore.dispatcher.__init__(self)
             self.path = path
             self.create_socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
             self.connect( (host, 80) )
             self.buffer = 'GET %s HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n' % self.path
     
         def handle_connect(self):
             pass
     
         def handle_read(self):
             data = self.recv(8192)
             print data
     
         def writable(self):
             return (len(self.buffer) > 0)
     
         def handle_write(self):
             sent = self.send(self.buffer)
             self.buffer = self.buffer[sent:]
