+HTTP::Tiny - A small, simple, correct HTTP/1.1 client
+
+This is a very simple HTTP/1.1 client, designed for doing simple
+requests without the overhead of a large framework like LWP::UserAgent.
+
+It is more correct and more complete than HTTP::Lite. It supports
+proxies and redirection. It also correctly resumes after EINTR.
+
+If IO::Socket::IP 0.25 or later is installed, HTTP::Tiny will use it
+instead of IO::Socket::INET for transparent support for both IPv4 and
+IPv6.
+
+Cookie support requires HTTP::CookieJar or an equivalent class.
