   [nstcl-http]:   Another client-side implementation of HTTP.

   [rl_http]:   A [REpresentational State Transfer, REST%|%REST]-capable, never-blocking HTTP client package that supports HTTPS, deflate, chunked encoding for Tcl, [NaviServer], or [AOLserver].

   [Tunnel IRC through HTTP proxies]:   allow HTTP/1.1 CONNECTs to the outside.


** Line Translation **

[PYK] 2016-04-13:  When forming an HTTP request in Tcl, make sure lines end in
CRLF.  Otherwise, the reponse may be `400 Bad Request`.  The [Tcllib
MIME%|%MIME] module in [Tcllib] produces messages with CRLF as the line
delimiter, in which case the channel should be configured as `-translation
binary`.
