Version: 0.1.35
Severity: wishlist
Hi.
It would be nice if the package's description could tell what ruby-httpclient
is needed/used for, so that people can decide, whether they want it or not.
Thanks,
Chris.

I hope you can live with the current state of affairs (ruby-httpclient
as a recommendation).
Bye! :-)
