Simple HTTP client

I would like to mess around with some client-side HTTP stuff. I had a  
Google around, and it appears that I need the packages Netclients.  
However, I couldn't figure out how to make it work.

Is there a simple example where I can download, for example the page www.google.com
, as a string?

Uhm, in the development trees it broke recently... :-)

I don't have 3.0.3 checked out but this should work:

    [ (f := FileStream open: 'http://www.inf.unisi.ch/' mode: 'r')
         contents ] ensure: [ f close ]

I guess it'd be better to have something like

    (URL fromString: 'http://www.inf.unisi.ch/') contents

Yes, this works in 3.0.3.  I also checked in a couple of fixes to handle
404 errors better.  I'll send mail about one of these fixes soon...
