Non-blocking transfers ...

[Ken Corey]

I've written a small asynchronous HTTP library based on rresocket that 
allows for access to headers.

Your code looks like this:

on openCard
   httpGet "http://my.url.path/blah","callBackFunctionName"
   [...]
end openCard

on callBackFunctionName
   [...]
   put httpBuildCookies() into tCookie
end callBackFunctionName

[...]
   -- somewhere later in the code
   set httpHeaders to tCookie
   httpGet "http://blah","newcallback" -- this will have the cookies

Only problem is that rresocket doesn't work on Android, and I wanted to 
support Android, so I had to come up with another way to accomplish this.

Therefore, this library is a very rough outline.  It works, for some 
definition of works, but has not been stress tested, and I didn't 
explore it.

I can package it up in a few weeks, if anyone is interested.
