Package idea: HTTP::SimpleClient

Greetings! I've used HTTP::Request for some time and it occured to me that most of the time a more high-level interface to HTTP that wraps around HTTP::Request is in fact needed. Consider the Snoopy package for example of such a high level interface: http://snoopy.sourceforge.net/ I even made such a class for my application, and while it is itself too application-specific, there are parts that are quite generic and can be extracted into a separate class. The HTTP::SimpleClient class should probably have the following functionality: head($url) - perform a HEAD request on $url get($url, $params) - perform a GET request on $url, optionally adding $params to it (consider a <form method="get">) post($url, $params) - perform a POST request on $url It should also manage cookies between requests. This functionality is ready, the class that implements it is a pretty generic one and the only problem with it are the comments in Russian -- I misplaced the variant with English ones. :[ There should be a possibility to set default parameters/headers for requests. The class should manage redirects (cookie management, referrers, all this stuff). Response processing itself should be left out of the class (unlike Snoopy). There should be a possibility to check the response for some tokens indicating success/failure (not a HTTP kind of failure but "please fill all the form fields" one) and to apply callback functions in case of success, for example: 1. form submitted ok, save received ID and password; 2. GET request was OK, now extract the links and continue crawling the site.
