Taser (wrapper project, take inspiration?)

[strange]

As you requested on IRC, here's a link to the repository:

https://github.com/trelltech/taser

I wrote it last night to replace an old HTTP client in a project. I want a really simple client with the following features:

• Synchronous API
• Automatically follow redirects
• Various timeout settings
• Some other convenience related features (deflate gzip, parse URLs, basic auth etc)

Also planning on adding convenience functions like post_form/2,3 that automatically formencodes data (and post_json/2,3, post_multipart/3,4 etc).

Evaluating it in the project right now. Will tidy it up a little if I'm happy with the results.
