-    Most existing Python modules for sending HTTP requests are extremely verbose and
-    cumbersome. Python’s built-in urllib2 module provides most of the HTTP
-    capabilities you should need, but the API is thoroughly broken. This library is
-    designed to make HTTP requests easy for developers.
