                     17: libwww consists of a small core and a large set of hooks for adding
                     18: functionality. By itself, the core it not capable of performing any Web related

                     20: functionality must be registered by the application. This way, the core of
                     21: libwww is kept application independent and can be used as the basic building
                     22: block for any kind of Web application. The Library comes with a large set
                     23: of default functions, for example for accessing HTTP and FTP servers, parsing
