class BasicClient
[source: com/uncarved/helpers/http/BasicClient.scala]
class BasicClient
extends RichClient with CanLog
Class that allows simple and scalable http requests. It wraps up all of the complexity of HttpClient 4 and HttpCore 4 so you get cookies, redirection, transparent gzip support, and condition get Last Modified and ETag support. Sample usage: 
     import com.uncarved.helpers.http._

     val helper = new BasicClient()
     //Get a webpage as a string (if you look at the apache http log4j messages you can see it
     //does conditional get and has transparent gzip support)
     val str = helper.get("http://www.theflautadors.org/")

     //Get some XML (with request parameters supplied)
     val params = List(("tag"->""), ("limit"->"5"))
     val xml = helper.getXML(Request(RequestType.GET, "http://www.uncarved.com/index.py/rss1.1.xml", params))
     val items = xml \\ "item"

Class Summary
class ConfiguredHttpClient extends org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultHttpClient with CanLog
This class exends the HttpClient defaults by setting various parameters to more useful settings.
class RequestInterceptor extends org.apache.http.HttpRequestInterceptor with CanLog
This class is used to intercept outgoing Http requests and modify them. This enables us to do conditional get and transparent gzip encoding so we are slightly more polite web citizens.
class ResponseInterceptor extends org.apache.http.HttpResponseInterceptor with CanLog
This class is used to intercept incoming Http responses and modify them. This enables us to do conditional get and transparent gzip encoding so we are slightly more polite web citizens.

Parameters
req - The http request (in the form of a Request)
thunk - A code snippet that takes a response code, the response and an entity option that will be None if the response didn't result in an entity
def fetchOk[T](req : Request)(thunk : (Response) => T) : T
Execute a request and run some code with the results if the response code is "OK" (200 to 204).
Parameters
