Reading web pages

[Kapps]

The host is www.google.com - http is only a web protocol. The DNS lookup 
is independent of HTTP, and thus should not include it. Note that you're 
also missing a space after the GET. Also, in terms of the example given, 
some servers won't like you not using the Host header, some won't like 
the GET being an absolute path instead of relative (but the two combined 
should make most accept it). There's a CURL wrapper added, and a higher 
level version should be available within the next release or two, you 
make want to look into that.
