+;;; http-twiddle.el -- send & twiddle & resend HTTP requests
+;;
+;; Version 1.0 written by Luke Gorrie <luke@synap.se> in February 2006
+;; This program belongs to the public domain.
+;;
+;; (downloaded from http://fresh.homeunix.net/~luke/misc/emacs/http-twiddle.el)
+;;
+;; This is a program for testing hand-written HTTP requests. You write
+;; your request in an Emacs buffer (using http-twiddle-mode) and then
+;; press `C-c C-c' each time you want to try sending it to the server.
+;; This way you can interactively debug the requests. To change port or
+;; destination do `C-u C-c C-c'.
+;;
+;; The program is particularly intended for the POST-"500 internal
+;; server error"-edit-POST loop of integration with SOAP programs.
+;;
+;; The mode is activated by `M-x http-twiddle-mode' or automatically
+;; when opening a filename ending with .http-twiddle.
+;;
+;; The request can either be written from scratch or you can paste it
+;; from a snoop/tcpdump and then twiddle from there.
+;;
+;; See the documentation for the `http-twiddle-mode' and
+;; `http-twiddle-mode-send' functions below for more details and try
+;; `M-x http-twiddle-mode-demo' for a simple get-started example.
+;;
+;; Tested with GNU Emacs 21.4.1 and not tested/ported on XEmacs yet.
+
+;;; Example buffer:
+
+;; POST / HTTP/1.0
+;; Connection: close
+;; Content-Length: $Content-Length
+;;
+;; The request body goes here
