I tried a number of times to do things with Network.Curl and found
it to be a painful and frustrating experience. The API is highly
irregular and often remains too close to the underlying C API.

More recently I've been using the http-enumerator package which
is conceptually a little more complicated but works really,
really well. It does both HTTP and HTTPS, GET and POST. It
currently doesn't work via a proxy, but the http-enumerator
author has said he will take patches and I'm working on it.

Cheers,
Erik
